How long did it take for you to get an ITA?

I got my IELTS score yesterday and I filled out the EE profile. The total score I got was 478.
Just wondering how long it would take for me to get an ITA given the cut off is 453.

Do you only get an ITA on the next draw date or in-between as well?

Would appreciate if you can let me know the time lag between EE profile submission date and your ITA date.

Good CRS, looks like your are pretty much there based on your score. It all depends on the next draw, hopefully the next draw should work for you.!!

BTW what's your IELTS across all the bands?

I gave my first IELTS exam without preparation 7 to 8 months back. My scores were:

Reading 6
Listening 7
Writing 7.5
Speaking 8

and I was not eligible for the express entry based on Come to Canada tool.

So, I spent 1 to 2 months over preparing for the IELTS as well as using some strategies, tactics and tricks.
I wrote around 40 - 45 RCs and around 40 Listening tests (Practiced from Cambridge IELTS (1 - 9) )

And then got these scores ;D

Listening: 8.5
Reading: 8.0
Writing: 7.0
Speaking: 8.0

The CLB I got was 9. If I got writing 7.5 my CLB would have been 10 and my CRS score would have been 481. I did not prepare for writing at all.

Thanks for answering the question. Looks like I have to wait till the next draw, whenever that happens.

Good scores! You'll probably get ITA in the next draw. Start preparing your documents and check to which panel physicians are near you for the medical. Good luck!

I am in the same boat, my IELTS score was R 8,5 L 8,5 S 6,5 W 7 and my CRS was 393. I was frustrated that by only .5 in the speaking had me lose the CLB 9 in all bands. So, I decided to go for the remark and after 6 weeks I just got a positive return, they changed my score from 6.5 to 7.5. Now I got CLB 9 and my CRS score went from 393 to 457, hopefully we will get an ITA soon.
