To many people on the Ray of Hopes, it has been a little journey together. It saddens me that while I have received an ITA, some of you with whom I have shared some comments and time, are still waiting for your turn. Some have gone ahead..but we still meet on the Ray of Hopes. Hopefully, we will all achieve our dreams! All of us have our own reasons why we want to move. I wish you all success, patience and courage! See you around.

If I finished my application last night and was put in the pool, will I be accepted in today's round given my score is above the cut off? Or will I have to wait until next round?
So I actually got an ITA despite having my EE application finished last night the 21st of Aug. Great timing I guess. I was worried about the time cut off but I guess that only matters when your CRS score is right on the cut off. Good luck to those in that position and to everyone else.

If your score is above 440, no need to mind the cut off. Congrats!

To all my fellow Comrades,

Thank you for staying strong and spreading hope! I finally received ITA after 4 years of waiting. It has been one hell of a journey. To everyone who is below 440, please stay calm. It always happens when the time is right. However, if you can increase your score through any source, please do.
Next phase of the process begins for me now. Thank you all again. Again my advise is this, increase your score, wait and stay calm. All the best!

My stupid girlfriend brokeup with me last month. She had been waiting more than I did for my ITA. Have to submit all my documents and then go and get her back too! :D

Don’t get back with her, she’s not worth it, find one in Canada. And congrats !

She's more than worth it dude. I messed up few things over last few months and so she got pissed off and had to make this decision. She made me rewrite IELTS, made sure I stay with her and provided me with food and comfort to even hot water :D. She cried last May when ITA was missed due to tie-breaker.

I’m hoping the draw size remains at 3750, if not increasing to 4000 cus if they were to reduce to 3500, I don’t see anyone under 440 can be invited in near future
I have a feeling this was the "last 3750 draw for this year"... they are catching up nicely with the total invitations... wouldn't be surprised if they draw 3 500 from now for on till year end...or maybe even less at that time.

Theres a serious risk that 440 becomes the "new norm" for the minimum score.... they'll skip a draw or 2 also down the line....which would be devastating to say the least!

No, not YET true. Compared from last year at this exact same date to this year, invitation sent is still lesser. On top of that, we have a larger quota this year.
