Totally agreed regarding the reading module. Candidates should go right away to read the questions being asked and never start off the task by reading the passage given as this would waste invaluable time.
I completely agree. IELTS is key to get 400+ score. Till last month we were at 344. I reattempted IELTS and got CLB 9 (had to got writing reevaluated). And then my wife also gave the IELTS again and she also got CLB 9. With the grace of God, we are at 448 now... Keeping fingers crossed... And waiting for the draw now.I am not sure why some of our comrades in this forum have started learning French or planning one year education in canada.
Remember, if you haven't reached CLB 9 band( ielts equivalent is LRWS 8777), Working on English and re attempting ielts is quickest and easiest option for high crs score.

From No Hope of Cut-off to ITA..All within a week
------------------------------------------------
This has been one of the most exhilarating week for me lately. With CRS score of 384 & cut off always going around 460 last year, I had left all hopes of seeing canadian shores. Lost another 5 points from CRS as another year went by.
At 33y, masters & 10+ Yrs of exp., I scored as much as I could. With few more friends settling in Vancouver & Toronto, my impulse only went up.
So I started my relentless effort to get a hang on my CLB 8 as my IELTS in first attempt was L/R/W/S # 7.5/6.5/6.5/6.5. Got help from some IELS SME(subject matter experts) & took another dive into IELTS in March 17. I was pleasantly surprised to know my score- L/R/W/S # 8.5/8/7.5/7.5. voila- This is CLB 10. Updated my EE profile on 22rd, left for vacation only to return today. So when I opened my inbox, I was absolutely ecstatic to read that I received ITA
From the word go, I knew IELTS score is the most important factor,so just 2 notch up in CLB made the difference of 70 points as my current CRS score stands at 454.
To all my friends- who are waiting for score to come down, I would strongly recommend give a hard push to higher CLB. It may just be the only thing standing between you and Canada.

OINP has cutoff at 400. You are currently impossible to get NOI from OINP - Human Capitals Stream.
Ontario posting the processing time is good. Hopefully, CIC would do the same. OINP data is up to date, unlike CIC's score distribution that looks ancient, dated 26th May! A renewed hope, with almost 3k nominations left, I would wait until end of August

You absolutely deserve it. Couldn't tolerate the attitude of the newbie. However, now i am getting PM (gutless) from the prick or the female version of prick, lol. I'll straighten it out lol.Thank you for the support! Big LIKE!
If today draw doesn't happens it will be disappointing for sure. But i am so getting used to waiting now. This is the second time waiting for 23 days this year alone. So i guess we have to publish the tender for topic for discussion if the draw doesn't happens tonight again. Howazzatt?Hahaha!

You can brace yourself for a good hangover young ladyYou both sound so scientific, I would appreciate if you could organize scotch, brandy, whiskey tastings and a cab for a drive home afterwards!
The like for the first line....According to my daughter, I am her mom
OINP reducing the cut-off below 400 isn't official yet. Maybe they will reduce it in the near future but we don't know when. With a CRS 395, you will likely get a direct ITA before end of this year. However, I still suggest you improve your IELTS. All the best to you.
