For the past 3 years, we have had 2 draws in December. So I believe the trend will continue this year too :)
I am sooooo anxious, BUT I’m so happy you got ITA,
My score is 444 I’m going to give IELTS another try to reach 447 but I’m afraid that I won’t be able to do that. I don’t feel positive though about another draw this week.. it would be a tiny gap

Man, I was so down 2 months ago. Literally lost all positivity in life then finally a saw glimpse of hope and after a lot of struggle I made it.

So don't lose hope my friend. No matter how hard the path feels, keep pushing yourselves and you will finally reach your destination.

444 is still a very good score. I feel you will make it in the next draw which should be this week :) Just stay positive :)

I hope you are right. But important thing is if score really drops as low as 440. Because in all recent draws, score has been pretty high.
If there is a back to back draw which I believe there will be one then I'm pretty confident score will be 440 or 441. It will be a huge shock if it's 445 or something like that again :)

I just reached 444 after 7 IELTS tries. Not fun, not all. I am even contemplating whether to update my profile or wait till January. My wife is due with the first child either this week or very early next week, and I am worried I may not have enough time with the two months. For medical check-up, we will have to travel due to my country not having one recognized by CIC.

This is a great score so just be patient. If you have the energy for IELTS (CLB10 I am assuming) by all means go for it.

I would say start working on your reference letter from past employers if you are claiming any points from past employers. It took me almost 3 months to get reference letters from my past employers, but that could also be because one was a government organization in a different city so i required a lot of efforts. But I did all of those small things while I was waiting for my degree to be assessed because I was pretty sure once I enter the pool I will get ITA.So I will highly suggest on working to get the reference letters from past employers. With your score you are almost certain to get ITA in the next draw so start working on collecting all the documents except probably the medical exam and PCC (depending on which country you are from and how much time they take to issue PCC, mine only took 3 days from booking an appointment to getting one) All the best for the next draw.
Thank you,!! I will start working on Reference letter from the current employer and I am with same employer for more than 7 years. For PCC, Do you have any advise ? I have seen posts for that and found Emergency service for PCC (India) which can be recieved in a day.

Hi Zigzag,
I feel like you're unnecessarily anxious to be frank. Your score of 444 is a pretty good one and i'm hopeful that an ITA is right around the corner for you. Who knows, maybe even tomorrow? :)

I'm sitting at 438 and I've decided that IELTS (and improving IELTS writing score to CLB10) has got to be one of the most stressful things I've ever had to deal with. So patience and the education route it is for me.

444 is definitely a safe bet to get ITA. I guess because of few recent draws, everybody is so anxious to cross 450 and thereby they are actually helping the cutoff score go high. I'm sure if we are all patient, score will drop down and there are so many applicants who are below 440 and they also most certainly deserve a chance. So lets hope that coming draws can bring a good news for all of us, not just a few of us.

If a draw happens in December then definitely at 444 he is going to get the ITA. If next draw is in January then it’s difficult but then again in Feb there will be chances.

I'm surprised at 444 you were feeling stressed out. I would understand if you were at 441 or 440. But 444 is 80% safe score. So stay positive. Next draw surely you will make it
