Ray of Hope - 80th Draw

[amalmathew]

Do you know there is a way to "guess" the TRF number? Besides, you need to enter the test results date in the EE profile which is not the date the results were announced (13th day after the test), but rather the date that is printed on the TRF.

Hi I am not aware of that way of guessing, could you please explain as that will be a big help. Also how to find the date if we have to enter the one on TRF(assuming we get TRF after a week)?
Kindly reply, as it will be a big help.

There are ways to get your TRF number without getting the actual hard copy.

Could you please explain how?
Thanks

I tend to agree that it can be guessed but I would wait for the actual copy if I were you.

My TRF # was in this order -
[last 2 digit year of test]-[2-alphabets in centre number]-[candidate number]-[first 3 alphabet for last name]-[first name initial]-[3 digits in centre number]-[G (if general training)]

For example, if John Doe appeared for IELTS General Training in 2016 with candidate number 000777 and centre number AB123, his TRF number would look like - 16AB000777DOEJ123G.

Note: it is a guesswork.

Sure thing. 90 days post ITA

Thanks... And any idea of reference letter ?? I am working in a IT firm. Do we need in any specific format - like year wise and designation wise? What all should it include?

 

[Reshma Asrani]

Congratulations my friend. I remember you were really frustrated and anxiously waiting for OINP to reopen. I'm glad you grabbed the opportunity to submit your application and here we are, today is your day.

I wish you a speedy PPR and may you land soon to treat yourself with poutine.

Also, congratulations to everyone who made it through today and all the best to rest of my friends who are still waiting.

Let's have some whatsapp group who got the ITA on 20th DEC..

You sure right??

You get 90 days. It's answered in a different way on the official page:
If you don't decline an invitation and you don't apply within 90 days, the invitation will expire.

So, My EE application is being sponsored by my employer here in BC. So the Law Firm that my employer uses will have to tell me if I got an ITA. I have no way of looking at my EE profile status myself. My score is 447 and I am waiting to hear back from the third party law firm. If they are on vacation for the holidays, I guess I won't find out until early January. Trying to not let this wait bother me haha.

Anyone in a similar situation as me?

It is just a linear regression model and 458 is just an artifact of historic data. It is just linear regression. So it bound to be rough and incorrect. In this case the model seems under-biased. You probably want to correct for the bias by adding a constant factor to the output.

Here is the dataset I ran it on

table { }td { padding-top: 1px; padding-right: 1px; padding-left: 1px; color: black; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; vertical-align: bottom; border: medium none; white-space: nowrap; }

Slightly less under-biased model. I ran a multiple linear regression since we are trying to correlate 3 variables in the equation. Still not super accurate. Hope this helps.

Seems like an accurate prediction of today's cut-off

My crs score is 448, so I understand I am through. But I have not received ITA yet. Has any of you received the ITA yet?

Just get your documents together. You have 90 days....dont take all 90. I got approved with passports in hand before my 90 days was up...Get moving.

 

[splashyygirl]

Hello,
I got my ITA. I see 2 options -continue application and decline. Over there,I see 91 days left to submit application.
When I click on continue application, fill in some details (not all) and click on save and exit to come out to home page,I get a popup that you have 60 days left to complete the application.
I exit and again on home page I see 91 days only but inside when I exit it shoes 60 days.
What is the exact days? Is this some bug in their application?

You have 90 days...but dont take all 90 days. surely you would have most of your documents together already.

Know your TRF Number in advance

Absolutely it's a bug. Even I faced the same situation
