Ray of Hope 68th Draw

[Timmyfemmy]

IRCC has never reached their 'promised' immigration targets before. For example see the below link

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2016-03-08.asp

It states that for 2016 the Target for Economic Class was 160,000

But we never received those many invites.

The below link states that 33,800 invites were issued last year.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/reports/ee-year-end-2016.asp

Even if we consider 3 people per invite its not gonna be more than 100,000.

I could well be wrong with my theory.

I was surprised they gave so many invites this year. Maybe its the new government. Hope they stick to their plans.

OK. Agreed. They don't meet their target.
But last year the draws were spread evenly through the year and came every two weeks.

Now the draws seems not to be evenly spread.

But let's all be hopeful. And do you know why?

There will be more than a draw per months in the coming months. And there will be a draw this Wednesday.

There will be a draw on Wednesday. Brighten up and believe.

@Wandering Mind and @mqamar1994, if I'm not wrong, you both have taken the OINP route and have already got your nominations. Is it possible for you two to direct me to the threads, if any, where you have shared your experience regarding the documentation, processing timelines etc. ? Would be of great help as it'll give me an idea about the average processing times and will help me keep away from unnecessary stress of my file not moving forward. Thanks a lot!

P.S:- Very high chances of a draw today. My prediction: 3800 ITAs CRS: 434 with the date based ranking system in place.

All the best everyone!

Why do you feel that there are very high chances of a draw today?

Just want to feel motivated

Good luck.

Let me give you an update about the thread that I opened up today. It was about EE application numbers and I thought we might see the current situation of the pool size by comparing these numbers.

We have 3 observations until now.

May 29, 2017 E00082XXXX
July 11, 2017 E0008636XX
July 27, 2017 E0008915XX

What do you think? Do you think it is possible to have 67K new applications in 2 months or 27K in 20 days?
Maybe they're also counting the family size, just guessing. Or there is a real boom in applications.

Saskatchewan Noc 0124 is it available?pls confirm

 

[Wandering Mind]

i don't want to write an LoE for this as I don't think CIC people are that much considerate with the explanations!

You've been misinformed about the power of the LOE and how the CIC works. As long as your explanation is legitimate and is written clearly and concisely, CIC has no reason to not be "considerate".

Good luck.

You need to take into account that not all the applications get into the pool. I had a problem when I withdrew and reapplied. I had 2 rejected before I found the problem. Although you might find the data on the dates and times during that period interesting.

Also, there are many duplicate applications in the pool. A few couples on this forum have admitted to having 2 active profiles - one in each spouse's name.

Because I have a gut feeling that they just cannot keep it to a single draw in this month. Looking at approximate number of ITAs to be issued, based on the number crunching done by others, I can safely say that the 2nd draw for the month of July is imminent today. I presume CIC would like an even spread of applicants instead of bumping up or cutting down on the applications drastically. Since Express Entry is now main driver of Canada's economic immigration, CIC would try to be more consistent and efficient with the processing.

Also, this is the ROH thread. Motivation is a part and parcel

Finally, the right attitude I've been looking for from a newbie! Welcome aboard!
