Ray of Hope - 70th Draw!

[PixelDust]

Read this on some web portal-

Stakeholders expect to see near 30 draws and up to 70,000 invitations issued in 2017, with majority of draws featuring CRS scores well below 450 to enable Canadian immigration authorities to meet targeted annual immigration levels for 2017.

So we have had 19 draws so far in 2017, so maybe 10 more draws for the rest of the year sounds reasonable to bring it "near" 30.

Including this week, we have 20 more weeks in 2017 (what??? only 20 weeks??? where is the time going????), so biweekly draws sound reasonable.

Where did you read that btw?

Hey guys,

I have a question. My wife did not change her name after we got married. She is still keeping her last name and everything.

We've requested our criminal/background check from back home and on her criminal check they automatically included her last name as my last name and in bracket they wrote ''Born >Her LastName<''. I think back in my country they automatically write your last name to the husband's last name once you get married.

When I did the application, they asked if she is using any other names, I said ''No''. Will there be an issue because of that?

Please advise.

Though it may raise doubts on their mind. Explain such ambiguity in LOE stating that "name mentioned in the report is due to the following reason". I believe , you will also submitting your marriage certificate; if that is so, they can infer the complexity of her name from the certificate.

Rest assured.

I read it here,
http://www.mondaq.com/canada/x/6065...h+Continued+High+Number+Of+Invitations+Issued

Although the information is just a speculation by the writer himself, i also think there would be 30 draws and no. Of invites should be a lot more ,if 300000 immigrants are targetted.

If EE has to be main driver for immigrants it should contribute atleast 60% of 300000 .
If 1 ITA =landed 2to2.5 people, it would need 80-90k invites

We have just celebrated the 70th independence day in Pakistan and 70th draw can happen anytime soon. I believe that is a sign of me getting any ITA. That makes sense, right??

 

[PixelDust]

Yes you are right, actually this rightness is the essence of 'ray of hope' threads

My IELTS results came out online on a site called "IDP IELTS Australia" at http://results.ieltsessentials.com so the British Council IELTS (I assume that's what you mean when you say BC) might look different. But at the bottom of the screen there was a line that began with
TrfNumber:
followed by an 18 character string with a combination of numbers and capital letters. That 18 character string is the TRF number that you need to copy and paste into your EE profile when they ask for IELTS score info.

That's
I m actually asking about getting trf no.. Without trf sheet in case of BC

 

[Wandering Mind]

It may create confusion by your case.

What Should I do?

It'll be alright. Just explain it properly in LoE. Best of luck.

 

[Troy2245]

Hit CLB9 in IELTS and add spouse points. You will definitely be sitting on 430+

I am not married =D

Try Below Formula for BC TRF Number. (total 18 alpha/numerical number).

1. Last two Digit of the year:- For Year 2016, Put 16
2. First two Alpha :- Country Code- For INDIA, IN
3. 6 Digit Numbers:- Your Candidate Number- 000777
4. First 3 Alpha of your Family Name and First alpha of your Name:- Solanki karnesh- SOLK
5. Center Number last 3 Digit:- IN001- 001
6. Module:- General- G

i.e 16IN000777SOLK001G


This is how they put your Test report form Number if i am not wrong.!
