Out of all the negativity and not so good news atmosphere, we can rely on 2 things:

1. Bigger targets than 2018
2. Last year, CIC sent 89,800 ITA's even though they had a target for 74,900. Surpassing by 20%.

Just want to keep the RAY OF HOPE ALIVE!!!!
Well said bro!
An aptly named forum RAY OF HOPE
Wonder why some usual suspects will only resurface on draw dates to post matter-of-factly info like they work in CIC.
Its high time they located the appropriate forum and have fun posting messages there.

Dont worry it will be fine.... I am taking some inspiration from you to start preparing... lol
Oh! That's cool! Finally, I could be a help for someone. Lol

Now, I'm looking forward to the result. If its not upto the mark, I'm gonna reattempt again. Won't sit quiet.

Anyways, I know you'll do it, as you already have 7.5 in writing previously. All we need to do is, logically organise the structure of the essay with sufficient lexical resources and cohesiveness. Significantly, include atleast 2 examples!

Backlog is their problem, 3,900 ITA’s is Ours! Let’s nail it down this Wednesday!
Hahaha. CIC can only keep us down for 1-2 days, wed and thu, through dreadful surprises, but during all other remaining days our hopes are very optimistic, in other words our hopes are our strength to be active in this forum.
I repeat your words "winners never quit and quitetts never win" although originally quoted by Vince Lombardy.;);););)

Yeah! That's too my weak zone. However, if you would pay attention to the statement carefully, you can easily figureout what the context says. Surprisingly, today I didn't find it hard because I was reading the whole paragraphs cautiously and consciously. I don't think I have given any incorrect answer. If there is any, then it would be hardly 1. (But again that's my viewpoint. Lol! Rest of all result will determine how accurate my answers were. :D)

I would like to add that:
-If you speak both English and French and you want to be selected under a French Stream wich doesnt require a minimum CRS but a minimum CLB for French and English (Ontatio or Nova Scotia), U MUST put French as FIRST language.
-From my own experience and from few other applicants cases...Nova Scotia nomination is the fastest one. I got mine in less than on week after submiting my online application to Nova Scotia
-You don’t have to pay any fees for Nova Scotia nomination.
My spouse speaks French but she has only 2 yrs education in an institute , can i make her the main applicant if she has TCF canada CLB 9 ?

Hey Guys, So I have a quick question, I need your advice on something, My score is at 448, created my profile in May and surprise surprise, the cut off gets to 470, so I have maxed out on all possibilities of increasing the score, but I can try and increase my IELTS score, currently at CLB 9, 10 range, so here is my question, Should I opt for it ASAP or wait and see how the future draws are like. In one way i know I am at 448 and cant get worst till March next year. on the other it would bump up the score to 450+, I was thinking I should wait till july and see what the trends are. Some people have posted in this forum that the scores would remain in the 460 bracket and I thought if that is the case why spend money when chances are slim. what do you guys think?

NOC Code......
0124
That’s great!! My NOC is 0124 too but I didn’t receive any NOI yet.

Same score, same NOC. Strange!
That is very strange indeed. The only thing two can think of is that
1. I submitted my profile on 5th May 2019 - so the profile is new
2. Country quotas

Welcome to the 445-450 club, I myself am at 448. Theres hope but the chances for it to happen soon are not on our side yet.
How much of an increase are you looking at? I have one CLB 9 and three 10s so I am kind of scared of retaking it just in case I screw up my total score. But 450+ is a good place to be right now cause it should reach 450s at some point later in the year. If you have time and can afford it, go for it cause even a few points matter now.
You can also wait and see a few months before making that decision, a B2B draw or increased ITAs might help our situation a bit.

The only problem is noone can say for sure how the CRS scores are gonna be in the future. So its all choices and risks that you are willing to take yourself. :)

Well there you go! Congratulations.
If you wanted to go to Ontario, then go for it. That's only my advice...based on what I would do in your situation. I think it would be silly to let it go especially with the chances that cut off might not get to 448 at all. I like to be hopeful, but you have a chance to be sure :)
