Ray of Hope - 85th Draw

[yourfather]

Folks, give your mind a well-deserved rest please.
Do not over-stress yourselves by incessantly worrying about something that is not within your control.
Go have a good night's sleep and awake tomorrow to fight life's new battles

+1 to that, I was too anxious and stressed about the draw for couple of weeks, I got my ITA on Feb 7. Went for my medical exam the very next day on Feb 8 and had high bp. They asked me to come back again later.

Lesson Learnt: Whatever happens... just happens.. stressing out will not help anything

I still have hope. I remember February 7th. I guess we are in a similar position. Let's stay positive for another 30 minutes

HI, what was your BP the first time? did you go back the 2nd time and pass?

I'm at 440 and NOI expires in 5hours ! Beat that!

Seems like we will be losing 1500 CAD!! Still have a little while to be hopeful...maybe just maybe...

Lets all pray to almighty and hope for the miracle to happen soon

Praying so hard here

 

[JWahid]

That’s shit!

What was the exact time and date you received your NOI?

22nd January 4:37PM EST

Guys, what are the chances for 419 this year. Last year cut off went to 413 as well but this time draws are so slow that even tortoise feels shy.

144/95, but I have no known medical conditions whatsoever. When I went later it was 127/82. I solely believe on the stress that I took for the few weeks prior.

I wish everyone all the very best. Everyone here has worked so hard and so deserves an invite.

Even I have received NOI on 22nd January 04:45 pm EST. But since they count it as calendar days, I was hoping that I have time till tomorrow.

where exactly does the draw take place? Toronto? Is their office hours over?

 

[Canada4me2]

I am at 441 and my 45 days of NOI from Ontario is expiring tomorrow. I so want a draw right now to decide what to do!

May be that’s the reason draw is not happening today. They want people to make a committed choice which way they want to go .
On a positive note may be it means crs score will fall below 441

Just my thoughts - based on CIC website (data from 15Feb2018):
601-1200 320
451-600 905
401-450 22,801
441-450 985
431-440 5,261

So the guys in "600-1200", "451-600" and "441-450" will get their invitations for sure based on what we have seen. This would total 320+905+985 = 2,210 invites. Assuming 3000 invites, thats 790 remaining spots. In addition, there are 5,261 of us in the 431-440 range. So I am probably being overly hopeful, but high 430s seems very possible. Fingers crossed....

No. They might be on lunch

No I dont think so as Normal office hours are 8 to 4 EST. It is 1:36 right now

So what are you gonna do if crs > 440 today?
