Me, who submitted January 25th this year, took IELTS 16 times (the 6th got me at 439) with 2 failed revaluations and 1 time of CELPIP within 1 year. So many of IELTS attempts were missing just 0.5 at one of the section. My PGWP was expired on August 31st, so I had to quit my job. While I’m waiting for visitor record, I didn’t give up on trying IELTS, but none of them gives me more CRS. I also got my last Thursday IELTS result last night and still failed, and then I decided to take a rest until the following two draws in January 2019...
I literally prayed so deeply and still disappointed all the time this year. But I have NEVER given up.
Just want to share my story, and hope everyone good luck and prepare as much as possible!
