Ray Of Hope - 87th Draw

basheerahmed said:
Hello Forum members,

I received a good and bad news today. The good news was WES evaluated my educational certificates as "Two or More degrees" and the bad news was, I missed the CLB 9 level by 0.5 points. I received my IELTS results today with LRWS - 8.5/7/6.5/7. I am desperate to migrate to Canada, so I am planning to sit again for IELTS on 21st April and apply for re-evaluation. If I did manage to get the 0.5 in writing, my prospects of getting an ITA is high.

I really get self-motivated from reading the threads from other members and how they stayed strong in their journey. I am sure, one day I too will pass these hurdles and land myself on the soil of Canada.

some people said no benefit of remarking if we have difference of 2 or more bands in two modules..
because then it is automatically checked for writing and speaking through two different examiners...
did you have 8.5 in any module when u had 6.5 in writing? perhaps not according to people theory...

Is there a time limit to request a remark?
 
Does anyone know how much time does Iqas take to send the duplicate copy of eca to oinp?
Regards

https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/52e4b14b-597a-4ecf-a184-23a6e69b0d57

The total number of people who have been granted permanent resident status in Canada under Express Entry in 2017 was 65415.

And as of today, the total number for new PR under EE in January was 9530. Data for February and March hasn't showed yet.

Wow never seen this before. The xlx file seem to have lots of relevant data. And you are right in 2017 total PR was 65415. It seems lot less then what we expected not to mention the target was higher than this I think. What are we missing?
 
Guys take a look. I have deleted the data for 2015-2016 for our consideration. Is this an accurate data or are we missing something here. what do you make of this?

Hi everyone,

Please Excuse me if I have repeated the question (in case someone asked already). I have 433 with CELPIP 11-9-9-8, and I’m thinking of retaking the test within this month. Do you think if I should take the test or should wait for the score to drop? Any prediction on when it’s going down to 430?

Thanks all! Wish you all luck!

3 main reasons for the spike:
1. the big gap of 3 weeks.
2. higher volume of PNP (you can see hint of this when checking the 1 week before the draw data)
3. several IELTS results were released and while some hurried to put them for February draw, some were waiting for their hard copies to arrive and they put their results a bit later (again you can see hint of it in the released data).

Next draw went down because of less PNP and normal amount amount of new profiles and profile improvements. However because of slow accumulation of profiles between 440 and 450 it did not drop that much (for less than 2 weeks gap).

What is clear, that competition is there and many people have understood it and are now going for new IELTS attempts + anything else that can help them (TEF or a new diploma).

Thanks for this and it completely makes sense. My main understanding is that there were 2 IELTS results in that 3 week draw (at least 70-80% from February test as you said because they were waiting for hard copies and one in March).

To that effect, I do not ever see the cut-off coming to 2017 lows ever again. All the websites claiming that 2018 opened with the lowest cut-off ever is all marketing BS. The real question remains is if we'd ever see a back to back draw this year at all.

Hi all,

Did anyone apply for license to work in Canada. I have come across a piece of news which says that one should apply for APEGS license to work in Canada. Is it required for all NOC's or only a few? Also which provinces need this and which of them don't?
It would be really helpful for me if anyone can throw some light on this...

Totally agree with you on the marketing BS part because start late 2017, CIC did introduce the tie breaker thing which definitely affects the number of ITAs they issue. As for the back to back draw, they would have to have those at some point in this year in case they need to fill their 2018 quota, considering the number of ITAs issued so far. In this case, we can see the score reaching low-mid 430s, considering other factors like competition and stuff. Just staying optimistic with my current score!
