Hi, I got it last Saturday. Yes, I had to do 2-way courier as well. When I came for biometrics giving, VFS gave me the instruction document for me to submit my passport when I was called. Basically, I mailed in my signed documents and passport with a cashier's order for the courier fee, VFS mailed me back everything once done.

You got it back? That's amazing! So exciting.

Thank you all! I wish all of us will see the progress in your applications as well. I heard Ottawa VO would be fully awake soon. Hopefully, many stones will start rolling.

oh really? source? My file is currently in ottawa

It will. My point is that, because IRCC gave additionally 20 points to bilingual candidates, a lot of pool candidates in the 460s and 450s became 478++. Noted that, these people must have been in the pool for a long time, and they did not represent the new candidates added to the pool within the last 2 draws.

According to you, by when should it drop to 473 ? I will lose 5 points due to age in mid-march.

Also, I am confused whether to go for EOR in Speaking (IDP - CBT) to increase 0.5 in speaking (rom 7 to 7.5). What happens if my EOR result has not come and I get an ITA ?

Wonder if ever the score will come down to 469. I'm sure many people have ben stuck 1 or 2 points below 470 and struggling.

Why did the last draw take 3 weeks? CRS 478 cutoff score is pretty disappointing tbh.

they were giving extra points to french speakers, so the system took a couple of weeks to reflect those new points.

I didn't quite understand, to award points to handful of people they delayed the draw knowing the score will shoot up and took away fair chances from many others. Should have looked into other ways instead of delaying the draw but anyway it is totally up to their discretion though.

Congrats! There is still no timeline with people with COPR after March correct? What's your ballpark plan currently?

Yup, they could updated score between draws. But if they compensate with another draw this week, cut off scores should be coming down.
