Ray of hope - FSW - 1

Hi Guys
Looks like I should get an invite through Ontario's French speaker stream.
In truth, I'd much rather go to British Colombia.. If I refuse the OINP, I still remain in the pool so would be eligible for future federal draws if I understand correctly?
I'm (luckily) sitting on 480 pts hence why I'm thinking of the gamble..
Cheers

Based on my personal analysis, i predict a cut off around 477-480 for the next draw if held next week.

Personal advice : 480 is an amazing score. You will def be getting federal in the next or maybe couple of draws. Since you have 45 days to submit your OINP , lets wait for the next draw and see if you are selected for federal, otherwise, dont lose the chance because EE is becoming unpredictable.
And also, you dont refuse pnp. Even if you have been selected for PNP, you are stil eligible for future draws. So chill. You will be a contender for the next draw.

So what do you guys think is the safest zone to be in now? 472+ ?

If I get my revaluation success story, my score will become 473. Should I try to attempt IELTS to boost the score more? The max I can take it to is 479.

This is devastating. Seems it's time for me to forget about it.

Maybe you should change to unaccompanying and go alone then sponsor your spouse later. Explore that option please.

Hmm will the 480s become the new normal?

Please don't say such things... Damn it has become so depressing now...

Lol I don't wish it too, I myself I'm in the early 470s, I'm just asking.

 

[Himanshu6444]

471 + should still be safe in nearby months, If age is the issue, then god bless ya'll

 

[Sweetyblaise]

I'm on 471 to be exact. But I don't know. The whole thing has become quite exhausting. I doubt it will come that low before the end of the year. I can't come and kill myself. What will be will be.

you couldn't clear in last draw bcz of tie - breaker?

Yeah

 

[Himanshu6444]

any time/age restrictions you got? If no, no need to worry.

 

[Himanshu6444]

The real barrier is 470. Hard to break. It feels suddenly everyone with masters and experience wants to go to Canada lol

Thanks for the advice dude.
I had the impression you had to decline the PNP invitation in order to retain your eligibility for the federal draw but you're saying you can hold a PNP invite plus a federal invite at the same time?
It's all hypothetical now in any case since the Francophone OINP draw came through at 453-470 pts so I have too many points! More I learn about how the IRCC works, less I understand...
