Ray of Hope - 99th Draw

[abhishek_89]

So hard to tell...
There has been in the past 3 regular draws ina month (August 2017, May 2017, April 2017, January 2017), 1 regular draw to increase score (June 2017), they have skipped a week and have done a PNP or FST draw (may 2018, november 2017), they have just skipped a week (march 2018...

So, i think anything can happen...

But one thing is true: there hasn't been any month this year with 3 draws.... So, i think they will keep their pattern.

The only pattern which has been consistent this year is - No 1-week gap draws.

There are no results coming out till 19th Can we say we certainty that next draw with be at 439 considering now they are issuing 3900 ita’s

No, both 440 and 439 are possible cut-offs if the next draw is on Sept 19th with 3900 ITAs.

@indpnv Why don't you give IELTS another try and improve speaking by .5 ? You can get 441 right ?

I am also at 438 (L8.5/R8.5/W7.5/S7) I have given speaking for EOR and writing 2 more IELTS while the EOR results comes out. (Sept 8th - IDP and Sept 29th -BC)

I will lose points in June 2019, so I am going to retake IELTS at least once a month and give EORs for every test until I reach 441 or till June 2019.

CIC should start pushing an English test of their own into the market, they are missing out on big revenue!

Someone please advise!

My NOC code as per my work experience is 2173 (Software Engineers), but my University major is Bachelor's of Arts. Will there be an issue?

I dont think so. CIC does not care about matching your education with the NOC code as long as your work experience is relevant.

Guys really need your help. Its long post so please bear with me:
1. I evaluated my Master degree which is in health field and currently claiming points for that only (worked at hospital for 28 months full time). Both degree and work were in US. Noc 2263.
2. I also have Bachelor of Science in Biology from US which I haven't evaluated yet. Now I am thinking of claiming points for NOC 4031- high school biology teacher when I hit 1 year full time mark. This work is in Southeast Asia.
I am little confused looking at noc 4031 requirements:
i. Teachers of academic subjects require a bachelor's degree in education which is often preceded by a bachelor's degree in the arts or sciences. [Since I only have Bachelor of Science in Biology do I meet the educational requirement if the degree is evaluated as bachelor of science biology by wes????]
ii. A provincial teaching certificate is required [is the certificate required to claim points only???]

I believe it is determined by the wording of the NOC. The relevant clause in NOC 2173 is "A bachelor's degree, usually in computer science, computer systems engineering, software engineering or mathematics or Completion of a college program in computer science is usually required." The key word here is "usually". It is good it doesn't say "is required" but I would advise you post in a separate thread on this forum and ask a senior to respond.

IRCC kept it to 3900 and not went to 4000 why ? Seems like that would have got CRS to 439, something IRCC dont seems want this year.

Instead, they might push the next draw to Sept 26th (3 week gap), then they need to do only 2 bi-weekly draws in Oct (on 10th and 24th).

Most likely scenario, i was thinking why 3900 and not 4000, may be that would have breached the 440 barrier.

Its unlikely the extra 100 would have reduced the CRS points as the tie break was set at the end of April.

Thank you, Sir.

This is what I noticed too. I'll gather some more details, as you advised.

I think that we need to understand that it is the minister that determines the number and the category of immigrants that qualifies for consideration in an express entry draw.

The minister is unlikely to know the cut off CRS when making the decision, since the CRS is as fluid as it can be.

Certainly. 4,000 will probably take it to early May cut off for 440 CRS

Guys, I finally received ITA, but there is a problem.

Initially I had 440 points and registered my profile in early April’18. I expected to get ITA on the 4th of September and I did.

However, somehow in the ITA it’s stated that I have 465 points. I got 25 extra for work experience.

When I registered my profile, I had about 2 years of work experience, and it should count as 3 years only in November. It feels like the system made an error and counted my 2 years and 10 month as 3 years.

What should I do about it? Is it a mistake and my ITA is not valid and if I apply they will not accept my papers?

Thank you!
