My girlfriend has 436 points but we recently checked that she has put "Uncle/Aunt" as family in Canada in her application but still the points show 0 in the final tally. Do we not get points for family anymore?

Sounds like she needs to research the points system in more detail. Yes - points are still given for family member but only for siblings. This is how it's always worked.
 
What is your ECA equivalency ?
A Degree and A Diploma ?
Did you check if this qualify for two or more degrees ?
My ECA from WES is Deree and college level diploma(one semester) So I don't qualify for 2 or more degrees. I am considering sending it to IQAS to see if they evaluate it differently.

What PG cert did you study? If the certificate is at postgraduate level, I don't understand how it was a college diploma
 
Hello Senior Members,

I need advice. My CRS score is 440 (Profile created on 22nd July as Previous profile expired). Without adding the spouse, its 448.
On 15th Sep, I'll lose 5 points due to B'day.

Should I go ahead and apply without family? Or I should apply with family. Let's say if I apply without my spouse, will it be a problem to add her after I get PR?

I have a 5-year-old daughter also. Please advice.

Apply with family, y do u want to again take the pain of sponsorship post you going there as a single applicant? Moreover, 440 is a good score and crs expected to drop to these levels soon if the current draw pattern continues.

I will advice you still apply will spouse and face the pain once and for all. Let's hope there's no more 3 weeks gap inbetween draws. You should get ITA in two draws. Sponsoring spouse takes 12 months or more. You can wait for the next 2 draws to see what happens

Hello everyone, what is the relationship between invited candidates with the lowest ranked scores and Tie-breaking rule: December 31, 2017 at 12:14:21 UTC?

Note: If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the cut-off is based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.

if there are a 1000 candidates at 441 (lowest score) and 550 of those created their profile before december 31 2017 12:14:21 UTC, only those 550 will be invited

She can also apply under Express entry on her own, spouse sponsor is not the only option.

Thanks, that means no profile on 441 created after december 31 2017 12:14:21 UTC got ITA this last draw. Trouble for sub 440, except draw size is increased to 4000+.
 
441 cut off for 25th July draw, tie break: 31st Dec, 2017.

Possible implications

* All profiles on 441 opened between 15/11/17 to 31/12/17 have been cleared.

* All these candidates either had there profiles recreated, or were able to increase their CRS/scores subsequently. Otherwise they should all have been cleared on the 23rd May 2018 draw.

Possible Implications:

* 25/07/18 draw could left over about 240+ profiles on 441, i.e. only 50+ profiles - opened 15/11/17 to 31/12/17 - on 441 got ITA.

Challenges

* If as much as 50+ candidates were able to improve their scores to 441 from 15/11/17 to 31/12/17, how many would've done the same from 31st Dec, 2017 to 23rd May, 2018/till the next draw?

* Except IRCC's tie break benchmark is not backed by a definitive formulae, implying it's flexible, then maybe some profiles on 441 opened/improved (31/12/17 to 23/05/18) could have received ITA from the last draw (25/07/18).

Please additional debate/input is required here.

* Assuming the CIC tiebreak benchmark is fixed, then we will have to factor in 250+ profiles on 441 created/improved from 31/12/17 to 23/05/18, and an additional 100+ profiles on 441 created/improved from 23/05/18 to 25/07/18, even till next draw.

Implications for 08/08/18 draw (if no 3 week delay)

* If the draw size increases to 4000,

Conservatively: the cut off will be 441 (5 Profiles left) /440 (90 profiles on 440 receiving ITA).

Optimistically: cut off 440, with 255 profiles receiving ITAs on 440.

* If the draw size remains 3750

Conservatively: the cut off could remain 441, with 255 left over profiles on 441.

Optimistically: the cut off will be 440, with 5 profiles on 440 receiving ITA.

Please note: This is the worst case scenario. In 4 days time, we should be able to generate far more accurate projections.

@gauravmlal, @at4446, @bimale4bipeople, @AlfredoInans, @navinball have already provided interesting insight into the 31st Dec, 2017 tie break issue, however more input and debate required pending the next 4 day trend. Without definitively resolving the 31st December 17 tie break issue, the margin of our projections is subjected to either the negative/positive influence of +/- 370 profiles (440 to 451).
