No, I don't think. Because i believe 80th draw will be the last draw of the year. I want b2b draws but seems CIC is not too hurry on issue bulk invitations in rest of the year

Got it

what about the Cut-off what are the predictions for the next draw?

 

[shersingh]

Very slim chances for a B2B draw considering how CIC is limiting to the magical number# 2750. We were all pretty sure of full sized 3 draws
Recent draws have been very iffy, things will get better when they come back to the schedule - hopefully from Jan 3rd.

I have experience of 4 years 11 months and system calculated total experience of 4 years...not sure how calculator works...

It calculates your total working hours

 

[CECIndia]

It calculates your total working hours

8 hours/ day, 5 days a week...

Could you please tell me what is the calculation method....

Also if you know

Does Mutual funds counts as proof of funds?


Thanks,
Bharat

If I have to guess, I think it would be 439 - 440 with 2750.

I think it would be better if we don’t have the draw tomorrow for all those in the 430-440 range. Because even if we have a draw tomorrow I don’t see CRS to fall below 438 and then if we have the next draw in jan CRS will again shoot in the upper 450 so unless CIC decides to have 3 draws in December i would say we are better off having a draw on dec 20 and then Jan 3 with increasing ITAs in the new year

Have you submitted already.
From what I remember,while submitting my profile, I had dropdowns viz
Two to three years.
Three to four years.and so forth.
Would be easier to select your option this way

Yeah i opened my profile back in september. The system updated my score in december, a month before my experience turns 3 years, hence i got confused.

I think we will get the answer to how far CRS can drop after the first few draws of 2018. Let’s hope for the best
Do you mind me asking why were you rejected in June ?? May be we can learn something

1560 working hours = 1 year

No idea about mutual funds though

Seriously, what's wrong with you? Why are you so mad? Being Secretary General of this forum obligates you to show some manners...

Just to answer your questions: I've been in the pool since late 2015, I've found this forum one and a half year later, I've got ITA in the spring 2017 and lost it due to dumb oversight in the application. Got so frustrated that haven't written anything for a long time...

I like people who spread good hope, but I can't stand it that some others are being attacked just for different view. I like to read different opinions. It broadens one's mind. In my case the realistic remarks helped me to pick myself up up and keep on studying French. I've noticed Vensak during all of this time and that he spends a a lot of his time writing long posts, preparing numbers and arguments. This shows that he does have respect for this forum. His insights might be wrong but he is definitely worth a spot here. Why attack him?

Preparing numbers and arguments from thin air helps no one.

A guy who predicted CRS 470 to be the lower threshold in 2017 using numbers, and then seeing CRS 468 as the highest the cut off ever went in 2017 for a non program specific draw, should realize he is bad at using numbers. So there is going to be a backlash if you simply use numbers and use no logic!

I agree that everybody should try their best to increase their CRS and I feel that's what everybody who wants to achieve this dream is doing right now. The increased CRS cut offs are due to folks increasing their CRS scores and it is not only due to new entrants.

Hello dear,
Firstly, let me say I am sorry to hear you had to decline your ITA and since than you are waiting to get another one. I truly hope you get your golden ITA soon.
But I have to say even though I don’t know andiangel closely I am sure that nothing wrong with her.. I believe she has a very gentle kind heart... I feel this from her posts... please do consider words can be hurtful to people’s heart..
I see what your point is... but still that doesn’t justify your statement...
I only write this to you because her and other seniors posts helped me a lot when I needed most...

Lastly I wish you all the good luck and PPR ...

Thanks for your kind words.
I do agree that @andieangel and other senior members have made enormous work by helping others and bringing them hope.
