We need a bumper draw tomorrow like we used to have a few months back

Ontario nomination quota increased.
Anyone is having further information about it??

Yeah...I hope there were no more PNPs issued between the last draw and now...still haven't come out of the rude shock of Dec 6 draw and the Nov 30 stat of close to 1700 members in 451-600 range...increasing the draw size to at least 3000 will make wonders now given the situation...

With CRS of 435...Should I sit for IELTS again ?

My previous IELTS score was : L8.5, R, 6.5, W 7, S 7.5

Yes. I advise u should coz 8 7 7 7 is the combination u shud target. (8 in listening and 7 for the rest)

 

[Chintan2711]

I'd say wait till you get the ITA. It's not a lengthy process. Have a look at this: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/medical-exams/requirements-permanent-residents.html

Medical test is possible only post ita since the medical test centre will ask for it.

Hi guys,
Happy to share that finally we received the golden mail of PPR.
Jumped in the pool in may2017, with 380 CRS.
Missed the may 31st draw with 3 days as the revaluation score of IELTS of my husband (the primary applicant) reached us on 3rd June, then the score we counted was 418, still a long way to go.
After that I plan to sit for IELTS again in July we reached to 430, hoped that this is sufficient to get us ITA .But so wrong .
Then send my docs for ECA to IQAS, which took good 2.5months.
After long wait and we could reach the CRS of 439 in October
And then CIC started dodging us with unpredictable CRS.
Finally on 15 Nov, we received our precious ITA (which was the exact cutoff and rank tied too).
AOR - 30 November
Med passed- 12 December
PPR-16 December.
This is like a gamble, the more you put at stake, the more you get closer to your dreams.
And don't stop dreaming and believing .
Thanks @AlliBatista @andieangel , @Wandering Mind ,@shaun75, @jackdawn, @tjsecondtry , @pessacanada @astralsource @sundar17feb99 @lino82 @trumprefugee @abhishek_89 @TanakaM @GavinSouthAfrica @SGtoCAD @Lala1234 and all fellow aspirants.Sorry if I m missing someone.

Would like to meet you all one day at our dream destination...

Good luck for the journey ahead! See you in Canada

Not really, I did my medicals before ITA because my CRS was high and I knew I was going to be invited in the next round. I had no problem with that.

Surely.

Hi All,

I appeared for IELTS on 11th Nov and got results as L : 8.5, R : 9, S & W : 6.5 . I have applied for reevaluation. I was shattered after seeing my results but getting positive vibes now after reading many posts here. Please someone share their expert or experienced opinion on my chances of getting 7 in both modules. Thanks in advance

Hi guys,
You know i was bit away from this. Today i came back with a question that does dependent PR needs work permit to work in canada?

Spouse coming to canada with their husband/wife for love, why they should require a work permit (even when they are a PR) to work?

Hello Saidkhan, welcome back.
As far as I know, if someone has a PR that means he/she doesn’t has to get work permit. PR gives the right to work and live in Canada.
Did you ask this or did I misunderstand you?

 

[jitender66]

Any idea when will be the next draw? is it going to be dec 20th?

 

[vishalverma023]

Hi Vishal, maybe you can just request at the least their standard certificate of employment format then ask a co-worker or much more a supervisor to sign the reference letter with their contact details. Since you cannot use the company letterhead on this letter obviously, notarizing it would help confirm legality. Attached all pertinent supporting docs you have such as mentioned above.

Thank you for the suggestion, I would try to get it notarized.

 

[limin_w]

Nope..you just require some patience and hope buddy

445 is really not a bad score. Unless you are in a real hurry, don't retake and just have a bit more patience Good luck!

What is your current CRS score ?
You can easily score 7 in Speaking and Writing.
Prepare and practice well and stick to the format.
I want 7 in reading. How did you manage to score 9 ?
