Waiting at 451 :). I had 445 prior to this but saw the cut off was 457, had to book and re-take ielts last seconds.

However, for personal reasons, i need PR asap, otherwise I would have waited at 445 and saved $330.

With that being said, I think the scores will drop to low 440s at some points this year, so everyone in this range should be ok.

If the conservatives wins the election, that's when low 440s will need to be worried :). But that's next year problem to worry about.

Friday went before, but I agree with you, more possibility on Wednesday.
Draws aren't generally held on Fridays, I think but let's see. I think the next expected date is next Wednesday, March 6th. Maybe they'll surprise us!

I am all set with IELTS but this WES is not responding... my current score would be 454 if i had the wes reports. But my case is still in REVIEW with WES and March 5th is my bday... so I am considering my points to be 449.... i hope I get my reports soon and create the EE profile soon.
Last update on WES was 02/08/2019- reviwing the documents.
02/26/2019- reviewing the documents...

But m still hoping with 449 I might get it....

Very well said! I stand in a similar situation. Today is my birthday. People come and wish me. But in my mind I just see I just lost 5 points today. I waited over 2 years. Did IELTS 13 times. Haven’t lost hope. I am positively sitting at 443 now. I believe scores will drop during this month end. Don’t lose ur faith peeps. It’s ray of hope.
Happy Birthday !!! Don't give up my friend , I am sure that you will get through and all the very best ...

Hey yes, we have seen all options, the English test is the only one. We’ve got 122 in language points. (With spouse so max can be 128) so all we can do now is get that 6 extra points to take us to 444. I don’t see any other option :/
Just curioues, what are your scores in IELTS ?

However, I am expecting it to be on Monday, 4th March. If draws are made out on that day!? If No! then I will also go with the Wednesday one, that is on 6th of March!

But when I went back in 2018 and looked at the similar scenario of almost 23 days gap in Feb and March, I figured that both of the draws were on Wednesdays: Feb 21, 2018 (Wednesday) , March 14, 2018 (Wednesday). However, right after that the another B2B draw they made out on March 26,2018 which was Monday! So it made me quite confident about the next draw to be on 4th March this year. Well, let's see if same scenario is followed again!

After looking at the similar scenario back in Feb 2018 and March 2018, when a gap of almost 23 days was encountered between the EE-draws, resulting the Cut-off to be as high as 456 from 442, whereas in the very next draw the CRS was fallen back to 446, and it was taken out right after 12 days.

Guys, Have a look below:

Feb 21, 2018 : CRS 442
March 14
, 2018: CRS 456
March 26
, 2018: CRS 446

Therefore, expecting the next draw to be out on 4/5th March, when a gap of 12/13 days will be complete. So, don't lose hope. Cheers everyone! :)
I'm referring to this. Just have a look once!

WES has troubled majority of the people here. Even for my ECA report completion it took almost 5 months, as it stucked me in the verification loop. Otherwise I would have got the ITA on Jan 30. WES is being pathetic nowadays and crushing peoples' dreams!

Anyways, 449 still is a pretty good score and you can easily make it. So, no worries.
