Ray of Hope - 83rd Draw

[gutts79]

Hello everyone,
I have CRS 429 and I refreshed my profile on January 27th, as suggested by most of the people here for OINP. Do you have any opinions regarding my chances for the next NOI?

Hey are you sure about this?

Am sitting at 435 with ielts expiring in end of March. All my documents are ready but everything if I am optimistic I donot expect to get AOR by end of March.

What happens if one gets ITA and by that time AOR comes the IELTS had expired?

Yes, IELTS has to be still valid until the day you receive AOR....

If it is not your application loses its eligibility..

I hope with your CRS you can have ITA before March’s end...

All the best

What could be the announcement from OINP about?

It might be reopening the master stream, last time they did this kind of "important announcement" was about opening master stream.

Hello,
just need suggestion -
I created my profile on Jan9th 2018, with CRS score 434. Got ONIP NOI on 26th Jan.
Do I really need to go for IELTs again to improve the score or accept ONIP ?
How much time I have to accept ONIP- is it 14 days or 45 days?

Which noc?

Master and PHD were opened like 1 1/2 weeks ago. (the statement, that streams are now opened.). If anything they will rather close them after batch of intake and reopen few months later.

Hello experts!

I’m married and would like to create an express entry profile. I had checked my CRS score online and observed that I score more if my spouse isn’t accompanying me, this makes me tend to apply without accompanying my spouse. However, I was told that there CIC might raise some queries on why didn’t I want to choose my spouse to accompany me while creating the profile.

My question is, being married, does it really matter to CIC if choose my spouse to accompany me or not? Also would there be any issues post ITA if I take this route?

Please suggest !!

Regards,
S

Finger crossed lol waiting at 429

Wish you all the best,
if you get NOI I suggest you take consideration to apply PNP ... it is not that I don’t believe you can get direct ITA with CRS 429 but waiting period can be challenging.. 429 CRS is good..

For sure it is all personal choices at the end...

Sorry my bad, they only opened streams with job offers.

I'm in exactly the same situation. My CRS score with spouse not accompanying me would be 445, with her is 427.

There is no issue but be aware that if you wish for your spouse to become a PR the sponsorship process can take up to 12 months.

Also, you should stop talking to whoever said "CIC might raise some queries on why didn’t I want to choose my spouse to accompany me while creating the profile."
