Ray of Hope - 112th Draw

[ghvijay]

Thanks.
These are my past scores: L R W S
7.5, 9, 7, 7
9, 9, 7.5, 6.5
8.5, 8.5, 7, 7.5
8, 8.5, 7, 7
9, 9, 7, 6.5
9, 9, 7, 7

So unlucky I am. I was about to receive ITA on Jan 30th but I recreated my profile on 15th, hoping for OINP.

I wonder why didn't you ever go for EOR.. I went for Rechecking just after first attempt!

Precisely. The score looks impressive. EOR at some point would have got him the CLB 10 I suppose.

That was the stupidest thing to do. Sucks think the score was 438 I think then

Submitted. Weve got 438

Have you tried anything to improve your CRS?

My prediction for March 6 draw


ITA: 3350
CRS : 452-454

This year it looks like they will try to keep CRS above 445. Ya if 3 draws happens in one month thanCRS may touch 440( very less chances )

Ontario, Quebec, PEI is issuing large number of PROVITIONAL nominees to people which helps a lot Internation students and they all are getting 600 points that’s the main reason for high Cut off.

Another reason is People from USA (who are on H1) are migrating to Canada.

And guys don’t forget elections are coming in October and if conservative wins than I am hoping they will reduce ITA and make CRS higher than 475..

I have been an inactive member for months here and just came today to read comments, then i stumbled upon this agonizing post and yes I had to comment. Sorry, to say your comments are something that are mostly not happening this year mate.

Cutoff will be going down to 440 again and there is a high chance for this to happen. & Where did you see Ontario, PEI to issue high nominations? Can you pls share the links? I guess I missed something. & You talk about Quebec? They haven't even opened their eyes, and lets not think that they will give nomination any time sooner. & about USA, people have been trying for Canadian PR from the start of 2018 and this news is as old as it can be.

Lastly, you talked about conservative making the crs to go above 475, may I ask what makes you think that? For a country, which is very much immigrant dependent considering the rising aged population, cutting ita numbers will never help even the conservatives. having said that, they might make the rules more strict after 2020 though. Even if they win the next election, they have a ton of work to focus on rather than making the cutoff go high.

Anyway, I really hope people don't lose hope over these sorts of inaccurate posts and keep the dream alive even after a lot of struggle.

Better skip the next test. A month's break will do you a lot good!!

When I scored 6.5 in my second IELTS writing. I took 2 months break since I was mentally drained writing back to back ones. Although my scored improved from 5.5 to 6.5 the second time.

The break really helped me to refocus better. I started studying the writing structure of Band 8 and band 9 essays. I ended up scoring 7 in my final sitting, eventhough I had an incomplete Task 1 in writing.

Good luck!!

Totally agree! I also took a 2 months gap period for re-attempting the IELTS exam. However, the second time I studied for just 10 days only. So, the result is: Gap helps you to restore your mind, and makes you better then ever.

I improved my score to 445 last week and what is the chance of draw today? rare to see one draw only within the month

My work permit expired in Mid-June, hope I can get ITA !!

Possibility of a draw today looks bleak

I submitted my profile yesterday, CRS score 453, any chance I would get ITA in the next draw?

You're in a pretty good place with a score of 453. There is definitely a chance. Just take a look at the previous draw cutoffs: https://www.canadavisa.com/express-entry-invitations-to-apply-issued.html#gs.5xUwElM2

Another couple of hours. Post that chances goes down to zero. But, We can expect a draw on Thursday as well. Very slight chance.

Definitely, your mind needs a break from the mental stress. You are so panicked about scoring high that it just adds more pressure!! It's basically like finding your lost car keys, no matter how hard you try you will never find it when you really want it but once you have relaxed and forgot about it, it just pops up out of nowhere

I would advise take a small weekend break with the family and go on a trip or to dinner or a movie, have a little fun to relieve your stress.

Looks like no draw today.

Looks like no draw today.

Appears that way. Let's pray there's a draw tomorrow. They've happened on Thursdays in the past.

Does re-evaluation help? I have given IELTS twice and my scores are -
LRWS -

8/9/7/7.5 - 1st attempt
9/8.5/7/9 - 2nd attempt

My score is at 444, I need to improve my writing to 7.5, should I ask for a re-evaluation?

When is the latest time to draw within a day?
