Next cut off will be 450 sure shot. You'll be through in the next draw (hope your profile creation date should not come in between tie breaker rule)
Let's hope so. I've already received a response from IDP. No changes were made in our IELTS grades. I submitted my profile on Jan 28. If CIC maintains draws in an interval of 14 days, I have 2 more before losing points due to birthday.

By the way, thank you for all your work here. I really appreciate your effort.

I am waiting for ECA to complete..my score until end of March would have been 454. I lost 5 points after my birthday..so now my score will be 449..and I am still waiting for WES to complete their evaluation.
It's due for completion on 23rd..so I will complete my profile and submit..the score would be 449..
This wait for ECA completion is horrendous..
Correct. They have increased their processing time from 20 to 35 days due to high number of applications.

Hey guys, I didn't make it in the last draw but I'm positive about the next draw. Just wanted to share and seek opinions on my observation.

If you look at the target ITA for this year and compare it to the number of ITA issued so far and then do this drill for each of the previous year - you'll notice the progress so far as of April is the least.

Example -
Target ITA for 2019: 100,000
ITA issued so far: 30,000
Progress in % = 30%

Comparing the real figures for this year with the real figures for previous year and given that there are elections coming up in latter part of year, it seems they will either increase the ITA issued every draw or have more frequent draws so that should mean there is no need to worry for atleast the 440 range. By far this aspect of calculation gives me the most confidence for all those who think they're stuck than any other theory posted so far.

I'm surprised about the fake profile thing. Who in this world today has the time for such sheer nonsense? It takes a lot to actually own and admit it on this forum though. Here I'm who delayed making a genuine profile by a year or else I would most probably have been in Canada long back - not that I regret it but anyway for most people it won't matter as these fake profiles can't accept the ITA so they don't account towards the target PRs count. Probably going to contribute to a further increase in ITA in the next draws. The only people who get affected are those who are soon to lose points due to birthday or document invalidity more so that IELTS as you never know what your next score will be.

Hello,
Though i have been actively following the discussions in 'Ray of Hope' forums, this i my first time posting here. Kindly pardon any lack of forum specific rules or ethics. :D

I am in a dilemma regarding my entry in the pool. I applied on 2nd march, and i am currently sitting at 446. I did my B.A,LLB (an integrated course of 5 years), from a very reputed institution of my country. As per CIC guidelines and criteria, LL.B is an entrance level professional degree, however, the WES guys didn't count it so and gave me a dual bachelors evaluation. Had i been given a professional degree evaluation, i would have been sitting at 454 rn, and would have sailed through the first draw conducted post to my entry in the pool. However, due to this issue, i am down at 446. Someone with the same degree from the same institution applied through IQAS and he got professional degree evaluation.
So, i am quite unsure about what to do...
Should i get a fresh evaluation from IQAS?
Or should i just wait for like a couple of months, because as far IQAS, they mentioned it on their site that the processing period for the evaluation might be close to 6 months or at least 5 months (not to mention additional efforts and resources required to get that done).

So do you think 446 has some chance of getting through in some time near future (maximum being 5 months i.e IQAS waiting period), or should i just do it already?
