May I say something? I'm only about a week old on this forum and don't mean to transgress the bounds of any established etiquette here, but I have noticed that whenever someone posts anything even remotely negative with regard to the outcome of the draw, they are ridiculed and even bullied by other members.

I am seeing right now, for example, one member on here bullying another for his bad spelling and grammar (when his/her English is nowhere near perfect I might add). I think this is really unnecessary.

I see posts all the time on here, about how it is easy to be pessimistic but it takes courage to be optimistic. I don't believe this to be true. In fact, science has proven this to be false. It just comes easier for some than for others; depends on your genetic makeup... In fact, some thinkers say that it is pessimists who experience and perceive true reality. The rest of us optimists are just delusional.

Don't get me wrong, I am not denying for one minute the benefits and power of delusion. It is wonderful and gets you through the most trying times. My point is that not all of us are predisposed to delusional optimism, and besides realism has its advantages too. Maybe these naysayers can bring to our attention a point we hadn't considered before, something that could be constructive towards our common goal of obtaining that ITA.

Yes, this thread is called the "Ray of Hope," and I can understand that we want to maintain an optimistic vibe here; maybe reading a negative post is unpleasant to you; but have you ever stopped to think that perhaps some come here in search of hope. Maybe they need a place to air out their fears so they can be assuaged? Can we more supportive of our pessimistic "brothers and sisters" here?

Hi.

Loved what you wrote. It intended to be in good humor. Sadly, it ended the way it did.

The guy clearly is new and needs support. I agree. And I am sorry. :(

Will definitely be more supportive. I promise.

PS: Bullying is a strong word. I had no intentions to bully him!

No more negative predictions.. can anyone tell me do they do draw usually before or after maintenance??? Any experience???

There is no draw this week... there will be 3 draws in July. That's the reality.. (Posted During Draw 66th.)

Don't hope guys there will be no draw tomorrow. (Posted During Draw 66th.)

25 minutes left for you guys and for me 2 weeks and 25 minutes (Posted During Draw 66th.)

There is no medicine bro. Relax. It was all in good humor. :)

And I really appreciate you correcting me! :)

Thanks. I learnt something new today. :)

Lol I know pal, all was said on a light note from my side too. I personally don't like to correct people and even if I do, I would back down at the first sign of them getting offended.
And my pleasure.
May the force be with us all.

Hi,

I'm also not a 100% sure since I didnt go through PNP. However, I do not see anything wrong with applying to two provinces at once (if you have the money). If you qualify for SINP now, why wait for NS?

Yeah I am of the same opinion. Actually after seeing the points increasing for EE I was preparing myself for NSNP. Now that SINP is open with my noc I'll just give it a shot instead of waiting for NSNP.

Hi there,

You may apply to any provincial nominations programs (except Quebec), there is no limite to do so, however, you should choose one of them in case you are successful, so friend just go for it, hope you get what you want and see you in Canada next year!

PS: Remember when you choose one of them you have to go to that Province and reside at leat 2 years or 3 years before moving anywhere, that's just for info in general my friend.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion. Yeah that 2 year thingy was on my mind and thus the slight hesitation for SINP over NSNP. Obviously Ontario would be my first preference but since 392 isn't going to take me through EE for the time being, about time I tried other options as well. And yes, see you in Canada next year! :)
