asbereth said:mib26, don't lose hope yet. The reason why, I think, the report did not show TyrusX as having the 5 adaptability points was I think because Sydney never awarded him (and all other applicants before April '12 if I'm not mistaken) to begin with.
If you (or anybody that has successfully appealed CIO's decision), however, ordered your CAIPS, I am sure the report will show more than 67 points, with the adaptability points awarded as well (since you wouldn't have gotten PER if the CIO did not think you could pass the 67 point threshold). The question is, how Ottawa will deal with the 5 points that got awarded by Sydney, since we have not had anybody in this situation yet. Though it's a slim chance, let's keep hoping for the best (in the mean time, you can probably start preparing documents for a new application).
Thanks for the comforting. Let's see what's gonna happen.
