I thought I was going to get an ITA last year October, so I gathered my reference letters from my former work place but I never got the ITA. Fast forward to this year and I've updated my scores and certianly getting an ITA this month.

Can I use the work reference letter I got since last year or would I need to get a more recent dated letter?
If it is a former place of work, the old letter will be fine. If you're still working there, you should get a more recently dated letter.

Am I being negative of thinking the score will drop just one point or stay at 476 itself :( Scared. Would be happy even if the score drops 2 points this draw.
It will drop by 2 to 3 points for sure. The density is around 470 471 472. It will fall by 2 to 3 points, just hang in there and be positive. I am in the same boat as well!

One question. Does the experience in Canada have to be in our own NOC that we are applying for FSW?

For example, if I am a software engineer, and have 1 year of finance experience in Canada, can still claim points for Canadian experience? Or, do I have to do Software Engineering for it?

Many thanks.
You can claim points if your job comes under NOC A or B categories.

Guys, I just received my TCF report, and I got a general B2 (CO: 505/ CE: 525/ EE: 13/EO: 13), with a general CLB 8!
With that my score jumped to 508!

I'm commenting this to maybe inspire other people to start studying french, I started my journey on January! About only 8 months ago! And by very little (just 1 extra point on the EE/EO) i would be a general C1 - CLB9!
So basically, if anyone is struggling to increase their scores, start considering the french path. It's totally feasible!
Now, let's hope for a GENERAL DRAW tomorrow!

Congratulations mate! Happy for you!

Unfortunately, my IELTS didn't come out well.

I had the following;

Listening - 8.5
Reading - 9
Writing - 6.5
Speaking - 7.5

I am confident that I wrote a good essay, even though I was a bit overwhelmed during the task 1 (didn't have enough time to complete my closing salutation) but regardless, I am a better writer than a band 6.5 and also, as stated by them, task 2 carries more mark.

I have submitted an EOR form today but I will proceed with my OINP application so regardless of the EOR feedback, I'd still be through. PNP takes more time but the goal, in the end, is the same - to get to Canada!

Once again, congratulations on the breakthrough mate. We should celebrate all the wins in this journey.

Congrats! Impressive results, the long hours of studying paid off! I am sure you will get an ITA tomorrow.
Even though I have received an ITA, I am continuing to learn French, as I believe it can help once in Canada.
Fingers crossed for an all program draw tomorrow!

6.5 in writing is a common story in IELTS. I really think it's all about business for them and hence they are always stingy in the writing section. You got CLB10 in the other 3 modules. I'm pretty sure you're gonna get atleast a 0.5 band increase in EOR in shaa Allah.
All the best :)
