Ray of Hope 67th Draw

[Deekap]

Among the eligibility criteria it says 'applicant must have minimum of 1 year continuous paid experience in his / her primary NOC'
earlier the primary NOC was defined as 'NOC on which the applicant bases his application & one in which he/she must have worked within last 5 years....' very recently CIC changed that to 'within 10 years'
(please note Ontario PNP still needs the primary NOC experience within last 5 years..)
--
so it implies CIC doesn't really bother anything else,given you have 1 year continuous paid permanent experience I n last 10 years ' & meet other criteria & secure sufficient CRS score to gain an ITA..
---
your brake, from the technical point of view doesn't give any scope for ineligibility,as the processing of application is purely objective...if you meet the point by point criteria then you are good...
exemptions are 1. medical inadmissibility 2.Criminal inadmissibility
these cases,the processing officer might look at files more subjectively in case of adverse records.

Thank you..thatb was really helpful

The latest news from OINP is nothing but a strategic move on their part to herd all those candidates with CRS above 400 but maybe less than 415-420 to go ahead with the OINP route. Till now the officials at OINP building have been killing flies during their work time. They know by lowering the cut-off for priority NOCs', those people will be valuable for the province anyhow. But most importantly, another positive side effect will be, those who are below 400 will accept the OINP in a heartbeat. Now because of the fear that the HCP quota will be finished, all the existing profiles with 400+ will seriously consider accepting their OINP. And guess what, news have been announced on the day of draw which has demoralized many many people. Pure evil genius. That's a killer move OINP. As a business graduate, i am beyond impressed.

Does that mean crs cut off will come down as many applicants wth 400plus range will accept nomination???

Hello friends, I have been silently following this forum since a month, but yesterday's draw created havoc in my mind,

I am standing at CRS 409, what are my chances now for direct ITA (PLEASE GIVE YOUR TRUE & BEST PREDICTIONS). I have gone through all the post in this forum and most of the guys are suggesting to wait if someone has 410+ CRS.

As per my limited knowledge and calculations, cutoff should be near 400 atleast after 3 draws, provided IRCC do not imply any new change. Still need replies from you all for confirming my hope.

And above all, after reading the posts since last 2 weeks, I am feeling privileged to be part of this forum.

Edit: I do not want to apply for OINP, due to following reasons,
1. I have already applied to other province, so can not withdraw my current profile.
2. Do not have OINP NOI.
3. Willing to wait for few more days, if there is any chance to get direct ITA.

That is a million dollar question my friend lol. Now all those who will proceed with the OINP, they are part of EE pool from the beginning and when they get the nomination, their profile will become eligible for the ITA. Hence nothing much changes because of OINP since their quota of HCP is just a tip of iceberg compared to the EE pool in my opinion. Question is, how many people will join the pool during 2 weeks period from now on and that will determine the cut-off score. From what i have gathered so far, several factors have affected the significant spike in last night's draw. But the good thing is, despite 1 month gap, there hasn't been overwhelming number of new entrants in the pool. So many many candidates must have improved their score whether by the help of IRCC's recent changes or the IELTS for that matter. Anyway, those high scorers are cleared and the pool not being as crowded as at the start of the year, i am fairly confident the drop will be significant as well if we are lucky and blessed with back to back draws.

Hi Vicky,

It's hard to predict exactly when CRS will drop to 409 and below but looking at the score distribution list many experts on this forum are confident that the scores will definitely decrease after the next 2-3 draws.

Hang in there and don't lose hope. We're all going to Canada sooner or later.

Best wishes.

I am also sitting on 409, got NOI on April 12, still waiting for CRS to drop
BTW, what all NOCs come under ICT (as you all know Ontario will be inviting ICT people with < 400 CRS)

Guys, my two cents on OINP acceptance:

All those who have been eagerly waiting to get into Canada, why are you thinking of not applying for OINP...? Even if you get a direct ITA, the only major loss will be CAD1500 which is not much as against your final dream. The best part is that this will ensure that 80% of your documentation is ready once you receive the ITA and it should ideally speed up the PR process as some of your documents are already verified by OINP officials.

Hope this makes sense!!

Buddy, I do think you should wait for atleast 2 more draws and no need to accept OINP NOI, right now reason being,
1. If experienced member are predicting CRS 410,is reachable, then we are at CRS 409, so have almost the same chances as 410'ers.
2. Due to yesterday's draw, most of the applicant will suddenly rush to OINP, resulting in the increase in the processing time as earlier( 2-3 months).
3. The bad things are done and over(i.e. effects of 6th june changes, canadian education & 4 week gap).

I still think applicants having 400+ should wait for 2 more draws, before accepting any NOI.

wat is cut off pint in this draw??

I am seriously considering to appear on IELTS exam again, although i do not want to at all. But considering my score, i either have to accept NOI or give IELTS again. If i keep waiting for the score to drop to my level, i doubt it will be before October. And i cannot wait until October or else OINP's HCP will be closed and i have already been in disadvantage because of quota being filled. If i happen to score CLB 9, my score will shoot to 454 and i will save a hefty amount by avoiding OINP route. But more than that, collecting humongous amount of work documents from past workplace seems pretty daunting. I might not be able to gather all required documents at all. I feel it would be sensible to wait for at least one draw and then book for IELTS. I feel like waiting is no longer an option, by either taking IELTS or OINP (if unsuccessful with IELTS again) i could be saving a lot of time and stress. Upcoming available IELTS dates are:

July 8, July 29, Aug 3, Aug 19, Sep 9, Oct 14 and Oct 28.
I am thinking about July 29th. What do you think guys?

PS: Before any new member ask me, my CRS is 403. Not being rude at all, just saving time lol

Brother, u may be right but I am having opposite view in this subject, Just felt to share with you.

1. Accepting NOI does not guarantee nomination. And the documentation is too lengthy compared to Federal system.
2. If someone gets ITA based on OINP, he/she has to stay in Ontario for 2 years. This is very crucial, as we all are planning to move their for our future and these 2 years are very important for Canadian experience. So limiting the region to work, will have very negative impact in years to come.
3. Waiting for few more draw is quite worthy, compared to staying in the limitations for 2 years.

I personally feel, the above mentioned points are very crucial and OINP NOI should not be accepted, till next 2-3 draws.

I think of retaking IELTS exam too... if i would have scored 7 at writing, i would have been at 453 CRS
So good luck...the nearest date on my country is August 19th
