Ray of Hope - 102nd draw

Guys, some thoughts here (just me releasing some frustration as I will be losing 5 points tomorrow):
I know that this is ROH and all that BS but in order to build hope we need to face the reality as well. We can't build hope base on angels, rainbows or magical CRS score drop downs. In my case, I was in Nov last year with my 438 100% sure I would get an ITA by first quarter of this year and yet here we are. The score has not even dropped below 440 and honestly it will not drop. That is the new reality we need to face. Whatever happened in previous years with scores below 420 or the new US president or more applicants than before, is what has changed the landscape for 2018 and guess what? 2019 will be the same or most likely even worse.
So my advice to all in this ROH is to first accept that 440 is the new limit now. Hoping that will go below that is just non sense. It has never gone below and every time we predict or forecast it will go below then we see surprises like yesterday and the same old reason are given by us to excuse the "unexpected" result: more applicants in the pool, provincial nominees coming and the new one is computer IELTS (which personally I believe will affect a lot next year).
So for those of us below 440 (and who want to materialize the Canadian dream in the next 2-3 years) we have 2 options: either improve the score above 440 or look somewhere else. As simple as that. If you are at 436, 437 do not pray the score to drop down because it won't. Work for it.
The best of luck for all and congrats to ones who got the ITA yesterday. Another challenge begins for you guys!

There are different ways of improving your score. Maybe you can study in Canada and then get the Canadian experience you need.
Otherwise, the only option I believe you have is to achieve a really good IELTS score (8 in every module) or maybe you can get a Master degree, but this may imply losing some points by age.
 
you need to believe in yourself for others to be able to encourage you. at least, you have two IELTS result you are waiting for. hope that you achieve your target.
Cheers!

Thank you:)
I hope I could believe myself, but for the permit issue I will lose mark for Canada work experience if I leave.
I will also lose mark on age before I get enough oversea work experience.
Hope all the best for my result which will be released tomorrowo_O
