Ray of Hope - 123rd Draw

[Abeer Gilani]

I'm totally devastated . Delays of WES had a very big impact .. I have got wes on 6th and score jumped to 463 . I thought I was very lucky to get the report just before the draw . But by this skip ,I'm sure that scores will jump 460 + .. I'll loose 5 points by Aug 18th and will be back to 458 ..I'm hoping for a draw for the next 9 days and if not I'll call it quits

My friend it may a blessing in disguise for you as all the documents had to be submitted before your birthday. You should have ample time to get documents after ITA

I got 462, but because of my birthday it will reduce to 457 on Nov this year, do I have chance or not? Any ideas?

Before November definitely it is a YES

This is so disappointing... for me every single draw was important.. am at 456 and have birthday on 20th September..after which I ll fall to 450... was hoping for 4 draws before that but now I have lost all my hopes...

CIC is quite unpredictable these days and this time, they want to make sure applicants to accept PNP invites and those invites are not wasted against direct ITAs.

So, this draw seems to be postponed to next Wednesday.

I thought the same.

@Yqing237 and @MWCW2018 I clearly said I am speaking from experience which mean mine. WES took nine days to deliver the report after receiving my transcript. This has happened for other persons with US degrees as well.

Thank you. May I please know how many degrees you got evaluated?

2 Degrees
B.Com and MBA, both evaluated as per requirement (B.com equivalent to 2Years Bachelors and MBA 2 Years Masters)

Everyone has their own stories..With my age at 37, I missed 438 in Jan as I was waiting for WES.Even got 9/8.5/7.5/7 in IELTS. Plus I have Masters. So I have maxed out my score.With the same conditions, IF , I was 31 yrs old my score would have been 470 + But I took decision very late to move. So you younger guys here. It's ok. Just be patient. You have time on your side.
Some guys think here they have been waiting for long..But let me remind those that you have age on your side..Dont get disheartened by getting rejected here. The CIC is not selecting the brightest guys and girls. They just have few parameters like English and job which they want us to do. None of the parameters of CIC will define your capabilities. You can do well in any country. I am a doctor here since 15 years and doing well. I just want to move for a better country... But guys don't just let your career graph stay standstill because of these rounds. Make sure you do your own good in your respective countries as well. Canada is a good place to live, but life isn't easy or rosy there too. All countries have their problems. Just focus on your growth wherever you are. If Canadian PR happens, it's good, if not then think of plan B..

What are the chances at CRS 467?

Guys, let's not loose hope here. We will get through this and have a get together in a cafe in Toronto next year

I have a question regarding ITA. I am sitting at 460 with my birthday in November. So, worst case, if I get an ITA in say early November, do I have to submit all the documents before my birthday to stay at 460?

Guys,

I have a feeling that CIC will conduct the 1st draw of August next Wednesday, the 14th then 2nd draw on 28th.

I have said this in previous ROH #119 that CIC is now trying to maintain of conducting 2 draws per month. So, gap between each months doesn't matter. But the gap between draws in month will be maintained at 2 weeks apart. So, for this month,maybe they choose 14th and 28th instead of 7th and 21st.

For Septmber, maybe 4th or 11th and 18th or 25th.

For October, Maybe 9th or 16th and 23rd or 30th.

For Nov, 6th or 13th and 20th or 27th.

For Dec, 4th and 18th.

This is only my personal opinion though. I'm trying to find a reason and explaination why CIC didn't conduct a draw yesterday.

 

[Mayureshdave]

What could be the cut off score for the draw of 14 August. My CRS is 467, am I safe at this score?

It is pretty safe. If we get adraw next week, you should be ok

Makes sense! Plus, from CIC's point of view, with the increase in volumes, they are not short of options - so missing a week and bumping up the score would get more people to accept the Ontario PNPs (I am sure those b/w 455-459 will also accept now). And they anyways continue to get the 460+ cream from their EE draws. If I were them, I will be happy with this approach! But I am not them, and this sucks
