Ray of Hope - 85th Draw
- Thread starter AlliBatista
- Start date
It is very likely that there will be a draw tomorrow. However, one thing I learnt for sure is we can never predict what IRCC will do.
Oh no, I'll loose my mind! Have they ever gone more than 3 weeks without a draw?
Yes I know, but I meant MORE than 3 weeks. Meaning is it really possible that they would wait until the 21st for a draw.
Hi. I m sitting at 439. How much time should i expect to crs draw at this score as per current scenario?
4 weeks is the record. After May 31st 2017, the next draw was on June 28th 2017.
Hey everyone. So I made my profile Jan 6, 2017. My CRS score was 434. I got my nomination on January 26th. Didnt want to spend $1500 and wait for for 2-3 months.
Retook Celpip and my CRS just got jumped to 448 today. I updated my profile today afternoon. It is already updated and now the score shows as 448.
If there is a draw tomorrow will my profile make it to the cut off (if it is under 448) since it just got updated today?

Yukon party is still flaming inside meDear friends,
Some tagging first to garner attention from old (mostly inactive now) pals:
@andieangel @lino82 @KingKurly @tjsecondtry @Wandering Mind @Karnesh @Ornela Forsyte @ivancabrer @trumprefugee @arunroy007 @BillHyatt @AlliBatista @mqamar1994 @shaun75 @TanakaM @Wacky1.nash @sundar17feb99 @gurpreet.ts @abhishek_89 @baka and may others that I may have missed (sorry I got a year older in December 2017).
Some other members may also remember us as the first RoH couple: @xibalban and @iamxty
It gives me immense pleasure to share that we just had a baby boy today.
Yes, we received our PPR today
We are PNP-Outland (Ontario) and our VO is Singapore, and we had just completed our 6 month processing time. I must take this opportunity to publicly thank my persevering wife @iamxty, who did all the hard work right from PNP application, to adding me as a dependent midway in the application, managing the PoF, staying awake late multiple nights to compile an impeccable document kit, and instilling hope and courage during the nerve-wrecking post ITA process; besides other personal pains that she bore to realise our Canadian dream. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here today sharing this good news. My heartfelt gratitude to her and lots of love!! I feel blessed to have her as my soulmate
To all those awaiting their ITAs, I wish you the very best. Never give up hope, learn from @iamxty and members like @tjsecondtry. There is always scope for improvement, and there is always an opportunity awaiting; to those awaiting their PPRs, just hang in there. It's just a matter of time. CIC really likes to test your endurance levels, so don't get frustrated.
With best regards,
See you again!!!
Wait for me guys !!!!

And many more that escape my memory at the moment.
And my full timeline so far for those of you who don't know:
The Beginning
Early hours of November 9, 2016 - Decided to emigrate from the US and started researching possibilities. Later in the day, read news article about how an immigration to Canada site had crashed due to a flood of Americans trying to find out how to immigrate to Canada.
November 11, 2016 - Filled out free assessment form at canadavisa.com
November 12, 2016 - Received email from David Cohen that was my first introduction to Express Entry. However, Canada was not my first choice at that time, so I did not research Canada any further.
Late March 2017 - Decided to immigrate to Canada and started a job search. After getting CRS estimate of only 410, planned to get a job offer, hopefully by the summer, and move to Canada and then create EE profile.
Late May 2017 - Started getting depressed that I had only had initial phone interviews with 2 companies, and it had been at least a month since either had gotten back to me. Decided I needed to create EE profile now. Read instructions for creating EE profile and realized that I would need to take IELTS exam first.
June 6, 2017 - The next available IELTS exam date in New York is July 8? But I had seen a June 24 date a few days ago, and the site had said I had until June 19 to register! I hadn't thought so many people would be taking IELTS. Registered in fear that soon the July 8 date would no longer be available.
June 8, 2017 - Checked IELTS registration site and found that the June 24 date opened up! Jumped to grab it and cancelled my July 8 registration. Fortunately my credit card had not been charged for July 8 so no financial penalty.
June 24, 2017 - took IELTS exam.
June 26, 2017 - found out that I would need an ECA in addition to IELTS score even to create EE profile. Rushed to figure out which organization to use and submitted order to WES. Ordered transcript to be sent to WES.
July 5, 2017 - Very depressed after being rejected for a job I had really wanted with Company 3. Still waiting on Company 2, gave up hope on Company 1.
July 7, 2017 - Received IELTS results online.
July 10, 2017 - Received ECA from WES online in the morning. Immediately created EE profile. Received paper copy of IELTS results when I got home at night.
July 11, 2017 - Received NOI from Ontario. Started reading instructions and gathering documents. Oh no, Ontario wants me to have a passport that will be valid for another 2 years? Mine expires in 9 months, and I was hoping to hold off on renewing until after I moved to Canada.
July 13, 2017 - Sent passport in for expedited renewal (supposedly 2-3 weeks instead of the usual 6-8 weeks). Still collecting other documents.
July 15, 2017 - Received paper copy of ECA from WES in the mail.
OINP Drama
July 25: Missed OINP registration by 1 day!
July 25-November 2: anxiously waited for OINP to reopen. Hit OINP updates page at least 10 times a day.
November 2: OINP reopened, registered
November 3: submitted application
November 27: Assessment
November 30: DIP
December 19: Nominated
December 20: ITA
Post ITA
January 5, 2018 - medical exam
evening of January 6 - submitted PR application
January 7 - AOR
January 25 - MEP & ADR, responded to ADR.
January 26 - NA2
February 27 aka glitch day - IP2
March 9 22:01 Ottawa time - PPR
Congrats Comrade !!!!! Good day everyone! I've been lurking around these forums and decided to join in for the first time. I have a question regarding reference letter from current employer. I have been working in the same company for the past five years. Last year, I already started compiling documents for ITA as to not waste time if I ever receive that coveted invitation. The date on the letter is July 2017 and is showing a total of 4 years work experience. Would I have to request for a new one? Since this February I have officially reached the 5 year milestone, would it make any difference since I am only claiming points for 3years of work experience outside Canada?
