I understand why everyone with CRS 440 and 441 will want to panic and accept NOI but let me shed some light on the data received today and what I can interpret.

First of all the PNPs, there is high chance a small province issued a backlog of PNP all together and they all enter the pool the week of 7th to 15th otherwise PNP have only been more than 300 after one week only twice in the past.

The influx at 451 to 600 is an anomaly that corrected itself the following week. That is 900 from 7th to 15th was really unusual and 15th to 21st was significantly lower.

Let me explain. If you think the trend shown during 7th to 15th continued the following week then as at time of the draw, the pool will look like this.

600 to 1200. 700
451 to 600. 1800

Now notice that is already 2500.

Meaning only 500 left for 441 to 450.

There is no way 500 was able to clear 443 to 450 and the backlog at 442.

The only reasonable explanation is during 15th to 21st.

Both PNP 600 to 1200 and the high score of 451 to 600. Were significantly lower than the previous week which we know to be 350 and 900 candidates.

By my own estimation backlog cleared at 442 was about 380 and new profile at 443 to 450 was about 480 for a total of 850.

Meaning the 500 left if we double the 7th to 15th breakdown is not visible.

Hence I estimated that for 15th to 21st the addition for over 600 was about 200 candidates which is normal and for 451 to 600 it was about 700 candidates which is also normal.

Therefore the reason for this unusual draw was an influx of high crs during 7th to 15th and that trend was not sustained the following week of 15th to 21st.

The reason could be backlog of IELTS or it could be other reasons as well.

Anyways I wish you all good luck.

:(Negative sign... I'm planning to retake IETLS now
You do not have a bad score of 427. You can drastically improve your score with below magic numbers in IELTS.
Minimum IELTS score: L-8, R-7, W-7, S-7. (This gives you 50 additional points called Adaptability)
Maximum IELTS score: L-8.5, R-8, W-7.5, S-7.5 (This will give you the highest points IRCC awards for IELTS)

Even if you cannot score the max do aim for the minimum score to get 50 additional points.

Got my husband’s ITA too. Thanks everyone for the ray of hope. 428 initially and took CELPIP thus it increase to 440, then apply for reevaluation for Writing and finally reached 442!

I have a few questions below and appreciate if someone can kindly take time to respond:
1. He is under OWP (I am currently an International student). All of our permit and visa will expire June 2018. When can he apply for Bridging wp?
2. What will happen to us who now becomes his dependent under PR? Can we be included in the bridging program too?
3. Should i re-enrol again for a new course to maintain my status and my son who is schooling in G6?

Thanks everyone!

Worst advise. His NOI will expire after another 2-3 weeks.
It's not the worst, knowing that people on 440 and below are waiting patiently as their time will come. Anyone on 441 who has NOI and willing to accept and pay, is just going to waste 1500CAD.

Its a best advice. Like someone said hold on to your horses save that 1500 for first-month rent here in Canada.

Its a matter or two or three draws or a wait of two more months. You can save a little more to start a good journey in Canada.

Congratulations to all who received an ITA! Good luck in your post-ITA application process.

Friends, as we see competition is getting tougher and more candidates are entering to the pool. For this reason try to improve your CRS if possible.

Hopefully we will have back-to-back draws and an increased ITAs starting from March. May you all get an ITA soon dear brothers and sisters!

NOI expires on 8th March. If I don't want to go into the complicated calculation of Canada time and my local time, I should submit by 7th March

Anyone with a score of 435 and less should accept NOI if they don't want to wait. You never know the situation after 2-3 months. Why wait? It's just a matter of 1500 cad which can easily be earned in Canada in aa mont. Just my 2 cents

Hello,
I am new for OINP.

Just in case someone accepts OINP and get his PR can't he/she work in any other province..?
I think problem is obviously for 1500CAD but the bigger issue is that person can not relocate from Ontario province.

Sorry, but please correct if I am wrong.

You are "obligated" to work in that province but can settle anywhere. Also you will not receive the PR for Ontario, it is for Canada. Only issue is that if you try to settle in other provinces, without even trying to make it out in Ontario then you might be in trouble during your PR renewal or Citizenship application.
