Ray of Hope - 83rd Draw

[-MJ-]

I got my email and profile has been updated - so excited! Hope today was kind to everyone - more ITAs and score going down can only mean good things

Have you got the email or it just updated in your cic account ?

I got the feeling that today will be the first 3000+ ITA draw...

It seems I was spot on

CRS 444, anxiously waiting for the email!

IEC work permit expiring in a month, already started looking at other places to go to instead of having to be stuck on a visitors visa again!

Edit: mail received 5.20 EST!

@Sarapgw i did not receive yet. im at 449 points. Did you get email ? i dont have any email or notification in the account...any idea ?

How come the tie breaker is 442 may 2017.. in november 2017 crs touched 436...

There could be folks who were in pool but increased their CRS through IELTS or some other way, but don't think there should be many

 

[rashpal26]

the tie breaking rule applies on May 29th 2017, so hopefully you will get an ITA as you created your profile on Sept 1

That's profiles created before may 29th 2017

But thats not what’s written on cic
If you’re above 442 and submitted yesterday, and another applicant with 442 who submitted in Jan, his chances of getting the ITA are much higher than urs

wrong....

sorry I realized later I was thinking the other way.

sorry I realized later I was thinking the other way.

Thanks anyway. Thinking out loud about my options

1) Wait at 437 (442 -5 birthday bumps) with a Sept 1 profile and hope to get ITA in April / May ?
2) Go nuclear and recreate my profile. Hope to get PNP and proceed.
3) Rewrite IELTS to get max points (Theoretically, I can get 3 more points in IELTS) and wait at 440.
4) Continue my French studies (I have studied French earlier and it is not an easy option even for me) and get that elusive 15/30 points

I think you should try and prepare for ielts again and appear for it. I increased my points substantially in my second attempt and 3 points is not a small score considering that each point matters.

@ at 440 chances are that you will get an ITA soon and if you have like a month to prepare and appear and wait for results that is approx 5-6 weeks by that time score will hopefully come down even more, at least 440.

Yay finally the draw! So happy guys! I have a stupid question, the tie-breaker is only for those ones that have the same lowest score?

Yeah it applies only for 442

 

[DanaJ]

wrong....

Seems ur right
Tie breaker applies if both are at same crs, if ur crs is higher ull get ita correct?
