RAY of HOPE 56th Draw (Predictions)

[Johnny Canada]

I guess some people were hoping for a draw on the 1st of March.
Very long couple of weeks for me and my wife (438 / Husband as main applicant - and 433 / Wife as main applicant)

Most people expecting 434-436 points and 3000-3600 ITAs
I am not sure as I would assume there are more people within the 420-440 points range people than 440-460. Last few draws have proved me wrong as it kept with the "6 points trend"
My guess for the next one is 437 points for 3500-600 ITAs

I really like what is happening. Before you had to be in Canada (I am) and have a LMIA/PNP in order to make it.
Now, if you have a Bachelor/Master + Advanced English + up to 30 years old + 3 years of foreign experience you will score from 436 to 476 points. This is a better profile than a lot of people in Canada that have received a LMIA.

Wishing everybody here best of luck! ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hi manhar...Did you updated your profile a day before on same day??
I got ITA in last draw on 441(Applied individually).My wife CELPIP Score will be declared on 7th March. Do you suggest me to decline and update the profile on 7th March ..Will there a problem?
When did you updated your profile in last draw..a day before or on same day? Please help

I was at 433 but got my wife's ECA on the day before the draw - so my consultant update my profile on the morning of the last draw - and the portal took 24 hours to update my score - hence I missed the ITA.
In your case, if the portal was showing your score correctly and as long as you will be able to justify that score with document proof - I think you should be fine. However, someone else who's faced anything similar may be able to advise better.
