Don’t stress yourself too much especially when you don’t have any solid evidence that justifies it. It’s not worth your health. My aim is not to appease people with scores in the high 70s, but to tell people to not let things they can’t control wreak havoc on their nervous system.

Hey there
Could you please share the country of your studies and the exact duration. I am from India and I did 3 years bachelor's + 2 years Masters. CES gave me two bachelor's degree. Was wondering if it's worth taking a shot, sending to IQAS. And how much time do they take approximately?
TIA
Your query is more suited for the IQAS thread. lets not diverge from the ongoing discussions.

Additionally, you can inbox me on your query.
I think everyone is. Normally I receive weekly updates from David Cohen but not this week though. Something is up. I guess we'll all find out very soon.
Hi guys, I recently updated my profile due to job changes but by bad luck I guess as I was updating I changed primary language to French and yet the results given are IELTS. I received an update from IRCC saying "I am no longer eligible for express entry" and the forms that I can update say updated and have been locked. Is there a way I can update the profile without creating a new one or this implies I need to create a new profile altogether?
Hi guys
Found this forum after the recent "upheavals" with the draws.. Great stuff seeing so many people going through the same highs and lows as me!
Here's my story;
- December 2019 I begin organizing IELTS, TCF, ECA. I calculate entering the pool in April with 465-75 pts, easily enough to guarantee an ITA..
- 01/07, I turn 41 so lose 10 pts. Still unable to enter the pool as awaiting the ECA, delayed due to Covid
- 16/07, EE FSW profile entered, 460 pts
- 30/10 profile updated, 480 pts (I'm fully bilingual)
By September I was beginning to lose hope - I maxed IELTS and TCF and hold 2 masters and could see no possible way to quickly improve my score to account for the points lost for my age.
For what it's worth, I find it hard to imagine the French-speaker rule massively impacting the cut off. France only accounted for 2% of applications in 2018-19. Two thirds of applications come from countries with zero colonial (so linguistic) ties to France (India, China, Nigeria, Pakistan).
Cheers

That's true. However there are also a lot of people from Morocco, Nigeria, Tunisia and bilingual countries who will benefit. I believe the first draw cutoff will be a high one. With people from 450-470 seeing an addition of 20 points thus getting in the range 470-490. Not many, but i believe around 1000 people can get these 20 points.
I'd just add that I only managed to max the TCF because I hold a masters in France, am married to a French woman and have lived in France for 10 years! Suffice to say that to get high language scores, it needs a massive investment of time and energy (and of your life 
). Most people aren't in a situation where they can dedicate this amount of resources, hence why I doubt the rule will hugely impact the cut off.
Time will tell obviously..

It's possible.. For sure, more and more people from Francophone Africa will be applying over the next few years.
