I will loose out on the eligiblity criteria as if I select 3 years, I will not pass the 67 mark...i used 4 years

It is the average score calculated using all the data available to date from CIC. IRCC will assume that this is the minimum level of skills required for a candidate to be invited.

For instance, if there are 50,000 candidates in the pool and the Mean calculated is 384. Then we can expect that anyone at 384 or above have a fair chance to qualify for invitation in the future.

As the data in the EE pool is not constant due to the continuous draws which are happening and lot of new profiles being added, when does CIC calculate the mean value. Would it be at the start of the year, maybe Jan 1, 2017?

Also, if CIC is actually doing this, by creating a lot of fake EE profiles with CRS ranging between 300-350, the mean value can be reduced even below 384 as more number of profiles would exist in the lower CRS range.

I was of the assumption that CIC is just going by the immigration targets they have for each year for their economic and PNP streams and the number of ITAs issued would be to meet the target.

As the ITAs to PR conversion is not direct, they would also account factors for the below while deciding on the total number of ITAs to be issued in 2017:
ITAs being declined
Application refused
Primary+Dependant in profile which would mean 2 PRs with 1 ITA

If CIC is going by their targets then it is very tough to calculate the lowest CRS cut off which is going to be reached by the end of the year as the pool is very dynamic and the draws do not happen over a constant period.

A draw is scheduled on 28th, Wednesday next week. Finally, we shall all be back on track. July will be exciting, anticipating a lot of cheers here.
Good luck fellas (includes ladies)!!

 

[xibalban]

but why do they only show mm/yyyy to calculate your CRS when filling your EE?

The best way to find out is, to fill the profile in, and see how much CRS the system allots to you.

They usually don't hold draws just before or after the Maintenance or even the whole week.

I disagree. There was a draw on 17th May after a scheduled maintenance the day before. So I believe the most anticipated 66th draw will be on the 28th.

Is it scheduled on the 28th? Or are we expecting it to be scheduled on 28th?

---
to give u an example,a person I know (through a friend) works as an Ayurvedic Doctor which is not recognized in Canada & is not there in NOC...however he got a reference letter for his experience as medical consultant/ patient counselling etc which corresponds to an NOC and didn't face any problem....
--
list out what all duties u may have done in last two years and rephrase the duties and terminologies to match with an NOCs example responsibilities...and get a reference letter....if an employer refuse,get it from a colleague..(all assuming u we're working post the mentioned job)..

Hello guys,

I am a little confused here. my CRS is 405 . Appeared for ielts 3 times and couldnt get 9 clb just by 0.5 point everytime. Next available ielts date is 29th july therefore 1.5 months to get my results. I have just Just recieved Ontario PNP NOI (i do not have strong ties to ontario, just one family friend and a friend, brother is going for bachelors and has received acceptance letter but no visa).

Should i go for PNP or should i wait for the CRS to come down or should I book IELTS again?

Please help me out

CIC usually conducts a draw on the Wednesday after a scheduled maintenance window on Tuesday. Is there a maintenance window on 27th?

 

[abhishek_89]

I'm surprised CIC up that early, hehe. Might be an indication of a draw later that day or just before, on Monday....who knows..

Can you send me the link where you see this message?
If we have the maintenance window on 27th, 28th is the draw. This has been always obseved in the past months.

That's my basis too. Here's that page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/e-services/account.asp

It could be on Tuesday as well. The maintenance window is quite early in the morning.

Indeed it a ray of hope...Wow! I like your response and positivism.. Ideally, I have double checked it and i am satisfied now. My eligibility point will be 69/100 instead of 71/100 I did initially and used to create my profile. I taught I was getting 20 (5 for each since the score falls in CLB 8). However, I hadI had 8.5, 6.5, 7.5 and 7 for the IELTS scores which gives me 23 so selecting 3 years as work experience will still give me a qualification mark of 69. Hope it does create any problem since i created the EE profile with the code I had when I used the 4 years

check the pnp application process (there's a sticky thread on that in the forum with all detail and Ontarios website gives the details in a PDF...I found their documentation difficult as they require all documents pertaining to all the jobs in last ten years...and the nominations may take two weeks & upwards too...
getting CLB9 would be easier if u missed only by .5 ...work harder and you'll have a far simpler life afterwards with guaranteed ITA whether or not the cut off drops/less troublesome eAPR / $1500 to throw us all a party / ...
it is ur call...but my opinion,wait for sometime and get ur ielts improved...

u may refer to my inputs below...
