Same shit will be happenin to my CRS score by Sept 9....430 to 425. Maybe I should Consider making my spouse the primary applicant. Constraint is that her Pharmacy degree was reviewed by WES as a bachelor degree.

Will her level of education be reviewed as a 'Professional degree' if she uses PEBC?

If this is the case then we can have our CRS score bump to 447 as she only possess 2yrs of work experience.
You guys should have used PEBC instead of WES from the start. According to CIC, it should be a professional degree, which gets the same points as a Master's degree.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp

Master's degree, or professional degree needed to practice in a licensed profession (For “professional degree”, the degree program must have been in: medicine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, optometry, law, chiropractic medicine, or pharmacy.)

My crs score is 432..i had already received ITA from Ontario.havent accepted yet becoz my consultant advised me to wait for next draw and observe the trend.i think, if i wait more i will miss the chance of ontario.
Can someone tell me about the documents i had to get ready to apply for ontario? Educational and experience certificates are ready..i think its just PCC and bank statements that are required now. Am i correct?
Ontario is not currently accepting new applications. They have placed it on hold, no one knows when it will reopen. I think that is basically what you need to apply, but you need to wait for it to reopen. Here is the application guide

Hello ROH 69, I'm glad to be back 16 hours after the draw

Thank you for the unwavering support yesterday in the ROH 68 @lino82 @KingKurly @pessacanada @TanakaM @Karnesh @AlliBatista

@mqamar1994 Congrats! You are one lucky dude! Make your daddies proud @tjsecondtry @shaun75 :p

To my sissy from the other side of the world @andieangel keep the faith, sis. Our struggles in life brought us closer together. Can't wait to celebrate our birthday in Canada next year.

The return of the brainchild of the Yukon party, @xibalban, made the 68th draw more epic than the 66th. The odds may not be in your favour now but believe that anything can happen. Last option - marry your future girlfriend in Canada. ;)

Sis @Wandering Mind, it is real! Receiving the ITA is like giving birth to a baby. I think I am going through a post-partum stress syndrome now :eek:

Congrats to all who got the ITA. Our real test has just began. All the best to us!

To those who are still waiting, don't underestimate the power of a single thread of hope. :)
Hello my friend, I'm so glad to hear you and you are with us as usual, that's a main point and it means a lot to us, believe me. And Congratulations on your nomination, couldn't point out that, coz was really busy with my baby boy and my wife. Thank God, they are OK and now home.

As you said, my friends (active, newbies and short time visitors), do not lose your hope, keep it with you all the time, your ITA is coming, remember the last year, everyone was telling CRS would never come down 440 or even 445, now we all saw CRS 413 and soon we will witness CRS 400 and even lower, coz as @andieangel (Secretary General ;)) told us earlier that those who are eligible and trying to work very hard on improving their CRS score deserve an ITA :)

@iamxty please visit us here when you get the chance and good luck for your post-ITA process. Ask any help (even though you know everything ;)) if you need, we will support as we are doing to our Sister @Wandering Mind ; Believe me, we need you without doubt and you need us :p Hope we will catch up you very soon and celebrate together our birthday parties, organize parties for kids and may be short trip across Canada.

PS: I feel now CIC will launch their regular draw-out system, I mean big size and 2-3 draws a month, sometimes back-to-back draws, hopefully we will have our ITAs very soon ;):) Plz everyone try to be critical thinker, not critical person who always see the negative in everything. Last point to tell you all: NEVER BACK DOWN and DO NOT GIVE A ROOM IN YOUR HEART for THE NEGATIVITY :):cool: because you all set already a reasonable GOAL.

You know untill june 6 .2017 only 16600 profile for PR are accepted although the the total number of ITAs issued and already until March,1.2017 is 20843
That means there are 4243 rejected profiles... this is the point, Mr.Ahmed Hussien stated that he need 300.000 to be landed in canada 2017. Putting more pressure and work load on CIC.
CIC should newly invite new candidates to replace the missed ones
do you have any link to substantiate your claims bro. Instead of you posting here if you could also post the link that would be great.

Wow.. thats great! Really motivating.. had lost hope but now I feel there is still a ray of hope!!
Am glad that you are motivated buddy. There will be always a ray of hope.
In 2015, even having 440+ is not a realistic CRS score to acquire invitation but that isn't the case now , isn't it ?
Similarly though the score won't go down below 400 this year, it may get lower next year.

Your CRS is in safe range, like other members said there are ways to improve your score.
Rewrite IELTS, learn french (if canada is your dream), get married;) (if you are still isn't) and add/improve her/his IELTS score .

There are always options, we only need to seek and action those :) All the best.

Do you mean you received NOI from Ontario a month ago, registered on Ontario's site, but couldn't submit in the 14 days that you have to submit after registering? If so, you don't need another invitation yet. Your NOI is good for 6 months. You just have to register on Ontario's site again, but after Ontario reopens its HCP stream. On last Tuesday July 25, Ontario stopped taking registrations for the time being. I didn't want to register until I had gotten my documents together because I didn't want the 14 days to expire, but by the time I was ready last Tuesday, Ontario paused its HCP stream, so I am also waiting for it to reopen so that I can submit! I have been so upset at myself, but it can be hard to get the timing right - you have to register when the stream is open because it might randomly shut, but you don't want to register too early and let the 14 days elapse.
What's the harm of letting the 14 days lapse, if you can register again?

Hello all,
Thanks for your positive comments and likes to my estimations that I shared before.
I'm continuing to show some numbers.

As you can see the data and chart below we'll see another decrease in CRS if the draw happens before 21 August.

I hate the writing part! I got a 6.5 too. I know I'm not amazing at writing but never thought I was a 6.5. Good luck when retaking the test!
same goes with me, Retaken Ielts, Improved in other section but writing still 6.5 :D I would like to include a pleading note to the examiner in my answer sheet. Hope they will consider and gift me that +0.5 :p

Congrats on your new baby and thanks for this. Sitting at 436, I felt very unhappy and disappointed last night and I went to bed hungry. But today is a new day and I just know I have to keep trying and never give up hope. Sooner or later, we will all land in Canada and fulfill our dreams. Thanks again and regards to mother and child.

Hello guys,
Its good we all stay positive but following the trend overtime, I think if you have still not maxed your score on the ielts, then you better do. I am very confident that CIC will keep the scores high for while before falling again. I see the score going down to somewhere 410 in early december.
CIC is giving priority to those being nominate by the respective provinces which they need some time to process to enable them have the 600 points.. So I see an interval of 3 weeks in each draw!. Scores will stay high above 435 before it will drop to the 410.
MAX OUT YOUR IELTS! ONLY SURE WAY TO GO FOR NOW!
Goodluck everyone!

Yes it is, but note that you must land in Canada before it expires and it has a validity of one year. This is why many people do it close to their submission date, so that they can have time to prepare after COPR.
Thanks. All my other docs are ready apart from medical and I can submit my application within couple of weeks after ITA.
Just hoping CRS drops down to 430s in next draw, fingers crossed.
