nice one. I want to know if he is likely to get invitation today even though he submitted yesterday?

Did he get an update in his profile that he is a candidate before the draw ?

His score is too low, keep swimming in the pool

Or maybe IELTS doesn't have that big an impact, like many have been saying.

I think you missed to see the sudden surge , after 19th July. It was a collective contribution of 13th July result and 20th July result with some expected left over candidates who may beat us for the next draw as they have not entered the pool yet

It's going to take a few draws to clear the 440's. Then a few draws to clear 438. My 437 is a total pipe dream. IELTS maxed, can only study or PNP

TEF?

There's no surge. The figures are consistent with the figures for before 19th. As a matter of fact the average is similar to what we've seen in draws throughout the year. The IELTS effect has always been exaggerated and this just proves it. Everyone was insisting the minimum cutoff would go up from 442 because of IELTS and yet it has gone down. Next draw will only reduce even more.

Not everyone who appears gets a CLB 9 .This is afterall a business at the end of the day.That is why there is no limit to the number of attempts .Thsts why there was no impact add to that the 14 day gap instead of the 16 day gap last time

What about the draw size ? Cutoff will go low only with a bigger or same draw size , don't you think so ?

Hi to all,

Congratulations to all those who got through in this draw (95th Draw) & wishing you luck with the rest of the formalities.

Just to let you know, I uploaded my profile with 403 last year (May'17) & I was hoping the score would drop eventually. As then the score dropped to 413 & there were only 43K odd people in the pool with fewer above 420+

I happened to give IELTS 6 times despite having 18+ years of formal English education and having spoken English on a daily basis all my life.
I felt like *^&$ every time I didn't get a CLB 9. It so also happened that , twice my IELTS score was delayed for more than 14+ days.
It was definitely not easy on me but I am happy today.
I went from 403 to 472 & I am waiting for my ITA !!

6) IELTS (July'18) : L:8.0 R:7.0 W:7.0 S:7.5 IDP

Though of sharing my journey & to all those who didn't make it , stay strong & please keep at it- Don't give up!

Any speculations about when OINP may start issuing NOI again?
