Ray of Hope - 123rd Draw

[mona247]

Hi guys,

Me and my wife are chartered accountants. We both have 5 yrs of work experience. I am in banking and she is in audit. As per cic calculator we are expecting our points to be 460. I request you guys to help me understand following questions for Express entry program :-

1.How much time does it take to get an ITA under express entry with CRS score of 460+.
2.How many rounds of express entry are there in a year and its frequency (monthly, quarterly etc).
3. How is the job market for chartered accountants? I am in banking and my wife is in Audit with around 5 years of work experience each.
4. What is the government plan for intake of migrants for coming years tentatively in numbers (same, increasing or decreasing) ? Will they continue to offer same no of invitations or will it drop post the election in October?

Any other precaution I should take before applying?


Regards
Aditya

Wrong thread for your question.

Firstly remember CA is a regulated profession in India and Canada. You will have to study all over again to become a CA in Canada and get a license.

Find out your NOC codes.

If you crack IELTS and are able to get 460 then yes you'll get the invite soon in a couple of months maximum however you need to finish your ECA and go through a lot of reality checks before that.

Continue doing your research and all the best.Take one step at a time.

Hi Akshay, I have taken CBT IELTS in canada, tried both BC and IDP.

Thanks Nikki. My score is more than 8 in reading and Speaking. 7.5 in listening and just 6 in writing. I could not write fast by hand. Would computer based IELTS help in this regard?

Hi guys,
My brother got his PR recently, but he is not living in canada at present. Can I still claim points for sibling through him by providing his present address outside canada? Or does the sibling have to be residing in canada for me to be able to claim those points?

Your sibling should reside in Canada during your application procedure, and needs to provide a proof of permanent address in Canada.

absolutely, If you are a good typer(work on computer). you can cut and paste sentences whereas by handwriting you need to erase and rewrite. It is more convenient and relaxing. even for reading as well, you don't need to worry about putting true or false for yes or no questions as you just need to select them in the drop down.

If you have more questions PM me as it is not appropriate for our discussion on this thread

Need some information here. Please help. Has anyone taken computer based IELTS in Canada College? I see this is the only centre having computer based IELTS in my area. How does this compare to British council? Anyone? Please help.

You mean Montreal? Yes, I did. It was not too bad. Very small center, don't get caught by the term "college", it is just something like a tutorial college in India. The experience was good overall.

woah, thats scary. 170+ per day with 465+ is quite a daunting figure. bro, when do you think the cutoff can reach 463 again? whats your realistic assumption tells?

Scary but I hv assumed 280 451+ Per day candidates as a negative case based on past experiences.
Someone above posted that this figure is 230, so if we go by that the CRS should be 461

Exactly! Let's hope for the good to happen. I wish CIC may either increase the ITAs or conduct B2B draws on 14th and 21st of this month respectively.


The given target reflects the number of people "to be migrated" not "to be invited".

There is a great difference between these two. You can't say all of the ITAs will be accepted, there is always a declining rate! Which points out the need of increasing the number of ITAs.

So, if CIC will continue issuing the same number of ITAs for the remaining 10 consecutive draws till the end of this year, it will stay behind its yearly target of 2019. So, it has to enhance the ITA figure at any condition!

CIC's target for 2019 is 81400-86000 (if I'm not mistaken!)

Case 1 :-

Taking the least 81,400!
81,400-49,000=32,400

We're assuming remaining draws to be 10.
So, it means 3240 ITAs to be issued till the end. With the help of which CIC will never meet with this year's target.

Case 2:-

Taking the atmost 86000!
86,000-49,000=37,000

That means if CIC will issue 3700 ITAs in each draw, it will meet the yearly target, only if there won't by any declined ITAs. Which is highly unlikely!!

So, CIC will surely increase the ITA numbers and this trend of high CRS will soon be ended.
Hence, proved!

You are right about the targets and my main point being that the issued ITAs always is greater than previous year, so for 2019 it will most likely be 89000+ issues. This averages at 3900 ITA's for the rest of the year.

Yes, for me it was much easier to do writing question on the computer. First time I tried regular way and even though I managed to finish second essay, I did it in a huge hurry and didn't have time to check it - noticed some errors when they already were gathering question sheets. Got 6.5. Then I tried computer based one and had plenty of time, I even wrote too much. Got my target 7 (even though I think it should have been higher, but was enough for me).

Btw, does anyone know what what to put in work history country/city If I had remote work with a company in different country? Should I put my own country/city or company's country/city? Just filled and submitted the application and don't know If I put the right info there

Typically such cases, you can put the country where he payroll was run, and include a letter of explanation giving details of your arrangement and locations
