Ray of Hope - 101st draw

[Babsfrey]

If its on 3rd October, how many IELTS results will be out by then? Is it one?

It is one and I believe it was out on September 21, 2018

I don’t think this is right. I think there was a test on Sep 14 as well, it’s available on the drop down on BC. Also IDP had several rounds with test results getting published before Oct 3

Any possibility of CRS coming down to 438 by end of this year ????

If they don’t skip or decrease draw size, it will be possible. But u know, this year CIC is hard to be predicted.

Any hope of a draw today? It is like many have lost hope.

Wow...
With 400 ITA and scores as low as 284...

FSTW probably have scores below 440... So I guees this round didn't clean up the pool on top scores.

My prediction for 101st draw is:

October 10th, 3750 ITA, 444 CRS

And then, if they continue 3750 ITA, we will see a drop to 439 on 102nd draw on October 24th!

So no draw on 3rd. Sucks

Well that was 700 (PNP+FST), and it held exactly a week (7 days) after. This was not a week after, it was 5 days after, plus it is only 400. The 5 days must be deliberate. In addition, the year end is fast approaching and if they really need to keep up or exceed 2017 ITAs, they cannot afford to skip draws, except they want to issue over 4,000 ITAs in the subsequent rounds.

I agree. The last time this happened - at the end of May - they were more like two separate draws one week apart. The regular one on May 23rd didn't invite fewer people to allow room for the special one a week later. And since they didn't want to invite an unusually large number of people in a two week span, they waited for two more weeks before they held the next draw. However, this led to a significant upswing in the cut-off score.

This time, like you said, it's more like the expected 3900 invitations were drawn in two parts. I think the next draw will be on October 3rd, with a similar number of invites and cut-off as the one on September 5th.

CRS 441

Oct 10:- ITA 3750
CRS 447-448

why 447 - 448??

 

[keyur sharma]

why 447 - 448??

If it’s on 3rd October than the gap between 2 regular draws will be 2 week but if they skip 3rd October draw than it will be on 10th October and in past when there is gap more than 2 week CRS score always went up

Makes sense.
