    Ray of Hope - 133rd Draw

    That would be either completely new people, or people already in the pool who increased their scores from below 471 to above 472 (through improved IELTS, ECA, completing additional year of work, etc). But yeah, in just two weeks, that's pretty scary.

    >>>>>>>NOVEMBER 2019 AOR<<<<<<< Join here

    yes, I'm having the same problem. If I keep reloading the page, and/or trying to access the login page, I eventually get in, but it takes many tries. Other people in the December AOR whatsapp group have reported experiencing the same issue...

    Ray of Hope - 132nd Draw

    Not if you don't have an ECA for them. Instead, you will declare them in the "personal history" section when you complete your full PR application post-ITA.

    Ray of Hope - 132nd Draw

    Sounds a lot like a scam to me. DO NOT transfer any money. Report employer/recruiter to the Canadian authorities. :confused:

    Ray of Hope - 131st Draw

    yes, it is, and my ITA is for CEC, but that's not the same as job offer.

    Ray of Hope - 131st Draw

    Well, it says "Not applicable" for me also, but as a matter of fact, I did not put any job offer in my profile, so it didn't worry me. Not sure why you would see the same if you did put one :confused: Note that the EE profile is kind of frozen when you have an active ITA, so maybe the more...

    Ray of Hope - 131st Draw

    I see a similar message, except for me it's November 25, 2019. That's the date I last updated my profile (which raised my CRS above the cutoff for the draw), so maybe that's why? In any case, my ITA letter does state November 27...

    Ray of Hope - 131st Draw

    My suspicion that MDs are counted as Masters/Professional Degrees in CRS comes from this IRCC page: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/education-assessed/read-report.html which explains how to read an ECA, and seems to...

    Ray of Hope - 131st Draw

    In the CRS nomenclature it's "Doctoral level university degree (Ph.D.)". My French-language ECA says "Doctorat en philosophie (Ph.D.)". Note that my PhD was in Physics; I think certain doctorates, like medical doctors only count as Master-level in CRS (135 pts, rather than 150). I don't know...

    Ray of Hope - 131st Draw

    Thank you :) I finally (after more than 10 months...) got my ECA from ICAS. Because I have a PhD, that earned me 150 pts under "Core / human capital factors" and another 50 under "Skill Transferability factors".

    ICAS CANADA - APPLICATION TIMELINES

    I only sent emails, alternating between the direct email to H. Oswald (who also had been in contact with me) and the form on their website. Didn't always get a reply though, some email got mysteriously "lost" (as did a number of those they said they had sent to my institution, so I had to check...
