Ray of Hope - 118th Draw

[NikSharma01]

I would like the crs to be 446...3900 iTA

Lol, I would love it to be around 440 then!

Anyways, Jokes apart! I seriously feel unhinged now since the last draw occured. As a result, the high cut-off can be witnessed in the range of 455-460, if the same number of ITAs are issued again.

On the other hand, if more are the ITAs lesser will be the cut-off. Unfortunately, still it won't be less than 455 anytime soon.

I am praying that it doesn't go above 455, because then its bad news for people under 450. Last time, the three weeks gap resulted in 457 and I am not looking forward to that again.

I am not sure bit I read somewhere (or have seen some videos) where they say “You should not write way more words than what is expected”....

Correct me if I am wrong

Is it true? In second IELTS, I wrote 250 in Essay 1 and 400 in Essay 2... That's why I got only 7.

1. Nope, most of the times they don't really ask for an ITA. It depends on the officer of PSK, I guess.

2. If your PCC is few months old, then yes, its prone to the rejection. I got mine in December, as I was expecting the ITA in Feb. Lol, now PCC has already expired and I'm awaiting the ITA yet.

So, I will highly recommend to get the PCC close to the ITA date and in your case, as you're already expecting ITA in the upcoming draw with a score of 474, so you must to do it now!

I got my PCC on 20 Dec, ITA on 17 App, AOR on 3 May.

Thus, PCC was almost 5 months old. Is that an issue?

Hi guys,
I was looking at my partner’s ECA report and they mentioned that the name on the certificate is different than his name. They also wrote the name on his certificate. However, the only difference is that his father’s name is also written in the middle of his name in the degree. His father’s name is written both cases on his passport.

Another difference is that is his last name on his passport has a space in between whereas on the degree there isn’t. I don’t think an LOE is necessary since the only real difference is the space in the family name (since his father’s name is written on the passport).

Example:
Name in Wes Account: John DOE FUL
Name on degree: John Mike Doeful

Passport details:
First name: John
Father’s Name: Mike
Family Name: Doe Ful

What do you guys think?

Thanks a lot!

I see a merit in the draw size being 3900 or more. CIC must also be aware that there's been an extended gap between the draws. So they might just do a B2B draw or increase the draw size. Either one of the two would raise our hopes and be a sign of positives to come.

This is exactly my concern. Last three weeks gap resulted in 457, why will this three week gap result in any less.
And might even result in higher than 457.

No issues. But CIC may ask you for new PCC as an ADR. So, please get it done in advance roughly after 3 months from AOR. If they ask for it, submit it then & there!

Yes, it will be above 455 if they issue same number of ITA’s - 3,350.

I’m really hopeful that CIC will increase the number of ITA’s now onwards. FST draw seems to be a game changer for all of us.

Change is necessary and, it’s about to begin from this Wednesday!

It even went from 438 to 457, that's the scariest part.

I saw some video which said if you wrote way more than words they feel like you are being distracted from actual idea... which might be a negative....

Well, in that case, it really depends on the Immigration Officer. Some of them won't ask you for the ADRs, while others make it quite complex. So you never know what they are up to!

You're supposed to wait at this moment. This time, it won't take you much longer to collect the PCC. Probably 20-30 minutes. So, whenever you will receive the ADR (if any), simply get the PCC on the very next day and submit it without any delay.

I've heard one thing about the CIC and that is, as long as your first name on all of the documents is correct, there won't be any issue.

However, to be on the safe side, get an affidavit ready for it and also get it notarized. Besides, attach it along with the LOE. It would suffice to sort out this issue of your partners.

Hi All,
I got the below data from one website

Express Entry quick facts, from January 1, 2015 to May 15, 2019

• Launch date: January 1, 2015
• First draw from the pool: January 31, 2015
• Most recent draw from the pool: May 1, 2019
• Minimum CRS points required for selection in the Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC): 199 (May 26, 2017)
• Minimum CRS points required for selection in the Federal Skilled Worker Class (FSWC): 413 (May 31, 2017)
• Minimum CRS points required for selection in the Canadian Experience Class (CEC): 413 (May 31, 2017)
• Largest number of invitations to apply issued in any one draw: 3,923 (April 12, 2017)
• Fewest invitations to apply issued in any one draw: 143 (May 26, 2017. Note: This draw invited candidates with a provincial nomination only.)
• Largest decrease in CRS points required between two consecutive draws: 273 (from May 22, 2015 to June 12, 2015 draws)
• Smallest decrease in CRS points required between two consecutive draws: 0 (on three occasions)
• Longest gap between dates of two consecutive draws: 35 days (from April 17, 2015 to May 22, 2015 draws)
• Shortest gap between dates of two consecutive draws: 5 days (from May 26 to May 31, 2017)
• Total number of ITAs issued in 2015: 31,063
• Total number of ITAs issued in 2016: 33,782
• Total number of ITAs issued in 2017: 86,023
• Total number of ITAs issued in 2018: 89,800
• Total number of ITAs issued in 2019 (to date): 31,750
• Total number of ITAs issued since system was launched: 272,418

As per the above data in 2018, 89800 ITA's were issued even though they had plan to issue around 76000.

As per my understanding for this year target is around 81000. If they keep the last year's trend then we should expect atleast 93000 ITAs ( it can increase also)
this year.

So, I guess they will have to increase number of ITA's because 15 * 3350 = 50250 (to be issued in 2019)+ 31750 (already issued Itas) = 82000 ITAs are less by atleast 10000.

If they don't give more that 81000 ITAs which is their current year's target then nobody can help...

Hope they continue last years trend..


Please correct me if I have missed something
