RAY of HOPE 52nd Draw (Predictions)

[Kearnixer]

My CRS points dropped from 455 to 450 one month ago because of age. 450 is a very award score, with a very slim hope.

I have already taken IELTS three times for the past three months in the hope of maxing out the language points. Each time the score fall short of the full points by 6 points (3 points for each section). As the hope is fading away, do you guys think I should take another IELTS test just to take my chance? :-\ :-\ :-\

Also any suggestions on how to get full points in IELTS test? (BAND 10 for each section). I think my English proficiency is native-like. However, each time there were always some tricky questions that brought down my score. :-[ :-[

Cheer up! 450 is still a very good score! I'm sure it will go there somewhen this year!
I'm at 456 and will lose 5 points on March 1st.

Thank you for the support, Kearnlxer. I hope that by the time you have got the ITA, I will be close too.

I believe CIC is going to do large draws to lower the CRS in the first few months of the year, and make small draws afterwards when the CRS is stabilized at a certain level.

I hope that score drops to 460 in next draw and 452 in next to next draw... being optimistic ;D

Next draw 2950 ita, crs score 464

Do you think on a margin of 4 points we see 3000 ITA's??

Stay positive and hope that they do 3 draws like last year ;D

According to the trend after new policy of Nov 19th, 497 - 475 - 468, I think that the required points decrease 3 or 4 points for next draw is reasonable. If the number of ITAs remains at the current level.

It could get rougher now.

My Prediction:
ITA around 2900/+-
Score 460 - 464, because score never went down below 468 since April 2016 so lots of people sitting there

I wish CIC prove me wrong and drop score below 460

That's true, but most of the immigration lawyers are predicting that by beginning of February the CRS cut off may reach up to 450, so if we analyse on their prediction then it should be CRS 460 and what if they consider a 3rd draw like last year (with CRS 456)?? then eventually by Feb 1st week it will be around 450!!

But we cannot predict either them or CIC ???
