Ray of Hope 66th Draw

[Wandering Mind]

What??? Really??? I'm in the pool for 8 months, and if someone with same CRS is longer than me has advantage or vice versa? Don't know what to think about that...

I think it means they've an advantage if they're in the pool longer than you. And you've advantage over people who've joined the pool after you.

there could be 2 mpre weeks delay as it says on the CIC website. read below the exact text from CIC.

What changes have recently been made to Express Entry?
Note: If we invited you to apply before June 6 2017, these changes will not affect you.

The CRS scores of all profiles in the pool will be updated automatically before the next invitation round after the updates. This could take up to two weeks.

We have made improvements to the Express Entry system.

Groan!

Tomorrow or highly likely next week.

Did you see the post by @SinghRaj above?

Seems like there would be a longer wait for the draw this time

What??? Whyyyyyy???

Lets just hope ircc is being cautious with a 2 week timeline to update all profiles. Lets hope they get it done sooner and have a draw next week. It did take them 2 weeks to update all prodiles last time they had a change in november though.

Hmm yeah let's hope! If it goes longer than 2 weeks without a draw then it is almost certain that the threshold will be pushed way up!

Yeah, I understand, I'm puzzled about it a bit! :/

Nooooo!

This is important. This means if the cutoff is 410, not everybody sitting on 410 will recieve an ita. They will be ranked based on how long they were in the pool until the desired ita number is reached.

But what is a CRS tie? I do not understand..

Hello...i really need some useful tips for ilets!!!i took ilets 3 times but invain
L 6.5 R 6 W 6.5 S 8.5
Because of this my score is really low and i really want to achieve clb 9 in each module to get into 400crs
Am thinking of reappearing in july and need help

Your Speaking score is remarkable!

You need to practice Reading & Listening and it will pay off over time. Try to take tests and follow different strategies like skimming in reading. IELTS General reading is very easy. For getting a 7 you need get 35/40. You might be making errors in a few types of qns like T/F or maybe headings for paragraphs. Make sure you practice these alot. I cant stress enough on how important that is.

For writing I'd suggest you visit IELTS Ryan channel on youtube. He has great templates for both discussion and argument essays as well as letters. Im sure you will get 7 if you follow these. You should find time for practicing one test each of R,L & W everyday for atleast 15 days and then give the test. All the best.

Yes may be, cos there are 2 changes as of today, so probably we should wait but i don't want to lose my ray of hope... More draws mean more ITAs, more ITAs mean more PR cards.

Any changes in anybody's profile???

Maintenance (downtime) is over....

Mine was updated immediately at 5:37 EDT with a research question added in work history section. Then my score was also updated with sibling points in an hour after that.

Congrats! What is your crs now?

For all of those who are seriously thinking to learn French from scratch to earn some extra points while they can easily improve their score with CLB 9 in IELTS.

The advice is specially for those with maxed out IELTS, and still no luck to be above 413 as of last draw.

I won't be negative, and still hoping that the CRS goes below 410 in the future, but the 3 weeks gap some people are saying, may make it go up for the next draw. But anyway, let's cross our fingers that they can update all profiles in less time than they expect.

I really wish that everybody here could get their ITA fast.

Can you point to the link that says that?, please.
I can only find the info in this link (pasted below):
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/mi/express-entry.asp
They say "several days" in this one.

___
These Instructions came into force on June 6, 2017.

Note: All changes are in place since June 6, 2017. Some foreign nationals might not see their Comprehensive Ranking System score change for several days. All scores will be updated before the next round of invitations to apply where the Express Entry system detects that points are changed. There are no new questions to answer in the Express Entry profile. Foreign nationals do not need to update their profile unless they wish to provide new information related to these changes.

Applications for permanent residence for foreign nationals invited to apply before June 6, 2017 will be assessed based on the previous Ministerial Instructions.
