Thanks for sharing! Definitely not surprised, but obviously disappointed. Congrats to those who got PNP ITAs.

If more than one candidate has the lowest score, the cut-off is based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profiles.

As expected. Luckily the score distribution has not changed significantly in 2 weeks time, this should give hope to all FSW Candidates of 470+. I hope we see an all-program draw in the new month

Can anyone give me some pointers on scoring 8.0-9.0 in reading section? It seems I always overthink the T/F/NG questions and bungle it up. @ZAtoCD ?

Checkout IELTS Liz on YouTube. She answers this question very well! I got a 9 in reading after three attempts!

Only 385 invited, feels like they are running out of PNP candidates. As of the pool distribution, it has less people at the 450-500 range, my prediction for tomorrow would be around 445 ish

Yeah, my hope is now that the new month brings a change of approach.

5166 candidates with CRS greater than 471 as of now (after today's PNP) in pool. Big Yikes!

 

[PG12]

Not everyone can achieve ìt. Dudes in 470s and above are very unlikely to take french exams, also people are losing 5/6 points daily due to age. We cant say exactly what crs will be as there are many factors involve

Hey what about crs - 466 ?

 

[PG12]

No experience in Canada. On H1b in U.S.
Ontario PNP
Crs 468
NOC-2175
Got NOI (notification of interest) from Ontario (tech draw) in express entry profile messages. After getting NOI, we can create profile in Ontario website and submit application and wait for approval.
In your express entry profile’s section “provinces you are interested in” , there whichever provinces you select, you will have chance of getting NOI from ONLY those provinces.

I also have a crs of 466. I am also waiting for OINP - Human Capital Priority Stream because FSW draws are not happening. My NOC - 1111. Is there any chance of this draw in near by future ? I missed the draw in feb 13 pnp draw in same stream by one point!

Well, this was my last draw before I turn 31. On the next draw, I’ll be sitting at 470 instead of 475.

Man, this whole thing is so frustrating.
Fortunately, my French backup plan has been running for almost 6 months now.
As long as FSW reopens before my IELTS expires (December 2021), I think I’ll be able to overcome all of this.

470 you are pretty safe buddy when fsw resume. The first draw will be really high, 475+. Then it will go down drastically in a few draw.

Definitely not.
I stayed at 469 for almost 3 months, and didn’t get an ITA.
Then I did the TCF, raised my score to 475 on March 12th, and the following draw was a PNP/CEC. Worst possible timing.

If we remain more 2-3 months with PNP/CEC, with all these high scoring FSW being accumulated in the pool week after week, no one below 475 will stand a chance for a long time.

I pray and hope that we don't face that situation.
