My CRS Score is 438. I am in the process of appearing for the IELTS Test again to try increase my score to 441. I would like to know if the above is the correct thing to do in the current situation as it will take 1.5 months for me to get my IELTS Score updated.

Yes you should write immediately

Yes you should write immediately

Friend, my score was 440 and many draws passed by and i couldn't make it. I retook the IELTS and now my score is 444 and am hopefule. This is the BEST and the ONLY sensible thing you can do at the earliest. best of luck

There is an unusual silence in this thread. Looks like only few people are expecting a draw today.

The "Ray" of hope seems to be fading for many people, including me, hence the silence.

74900 is the number of approved PRs not the ITAs issued. Yes, there is a basis for this number 89000. Last year, ITAs issued were 86023 when target approved PRs were 71000. Now, for a target of 74900, do a ratio and proportional calculation and you will get a number slightly higher than 89000.

Is there a way to know accurately the number of PRs that have been approved so far this year 2018?

Submitted my profile today. In case if draw happens tomorrow, will my profile be considered or I need to wait for next draw?

it will be considered

@abhishek_89 what's your prediction for tomorrow?

Today's draw should most likely see a CRS 440 cut off with most of the applicants on 440 being cleared (tie breaker-Jul/Aug). A slight possibility of a 439 cut off exists.

 

[abhishek_89]

@abhishek_89 we need your wisdom and blessings. Please share your predictions for tomorrow.

With 3750 ITAs, if draw happens today, CRS 440 cut off with july/aug tie breaker looks most possible scenario.
You have a 99.99% chance of receiving ITA today - if draw happens today with 3750 ITAs

 

[abhishek_89]

Yes, appears so... there are still quite a few 440’s in the queue.

Any chance of score increasing to 441 or above?

Very unlikely for the cut off to increase to 441 or above if they issue 3750 ITAs today.

Sept 5th-no draw yet

They are sleeping now, hence no draw yet

I thin this is a great news for all who are currently on 440 score, but I am little skeptical about the tie breaker. Let's hope what you predicted comes true
