Ray of Hope 66th Draw

[Wandering Mind]

Just wishful thinking, because I wanted to have a draw this week, and the chances are fading with each passing minute.
But anyway, how great it would be to have a draw with 7500 ITAs. I mean, if they'll do consecutive draws to conpensate, I would preffer that they break all their logic and just make a single round that compensates for it with 7500 to 8000 ITAs.
I know, I know, it's just a mad man's wishes, but I'm allow to hope and wish, am I not?

Don't stop wishing, "mad man" Who knows your wishes may come true one of these days!

All the best.

I'm not aware of any other way to get the physical copy of the IELTS certificate except to wait for it to arrive in the post.

Have you tried talking to the organisers? May be they'll give you some helpful advice. Good luck.

Yup..spoke to them..they said at max they can only give me the tracking number of the courier who delivers my certificate..

You know the saying, good things come to those who wait . Not wishing to dampen your spirits but I had to wait 2 months for mine! I think they had a suspicion of cheating in the group and had to recheck them all.

If they've already couriered it to you, you should receive it within 24 hours. And since the next draw may only happen next Wednesday, you've enough time to complete/update and submit your profile.

Good luck.

Hello People, I know that this question has been asked alot before but please bear with me.
I recived a NOI from Ontario to apply under Human Capital Priorities Program same as any one with CRS of above 400..
As it is known it is better to be nominated directly by the IRCC and there is a chance now the scores are getting lower every draw.
Now what i'm asking about is how much time do I have before it expires?
I have read the guidelines and it got me more confused.
What I understand is that we have 14 days to complete the application using OINP e-filing portal on their website.
But what about the nomination expiry period?
If there is any link that explains the process more please post it.
I'm retaking the IELTS test to improve my score but will there be time to consider the NOI if the results came not as i wish?
Thanks everyone in advance.

I think that is perfectly plausible. That would wipe us (400ers) all out in just one shot.
However, there is a reason that they restrain the ITAs to below 4000 per week, allowing people to improve their IELTS and letting new members join.
Someone (@xpressentry) had doubts that IELTS is a money minting scam, I am inclined to agree a bit. The only thing that affects your CRS the most, is your language skills.

I wouldn't spend time and money on another IELTS with that score, 409 is a sure thing in a month or two.

That's what I'm thinking but don't want to not book the test and then have lost another month.

Any idea on why my wife's secondary education isn't giving two points like it should? That would push me up to 411 which I think will be enough for sure

You have 6 months to decide if you want to accept it or not but once you accept it, you'll have only about 40 days to pay your fees, $1,500C and submit all required documents.

By the way, have you considered re-taking IELTS? With a 7 in writing, you'll be on a comfortable 473 when you turn 30 and the temptation to accept OINP will not arise.

Completely echo that..even I was made to wait for a month..they thought I had cheated..as my reading score was increased by 3 bands when compared to the 1st attempt..

I don't know if it is so (a money minting scam), but I think they give too much weight for it in the CRS. It could be gradual, not just win or loose 50 points if it is above this line for EVERY skill. But I try not to be negative. The Express Entry is a really good system, and it will only get better with the time, to benefit everyone who really wishes to inmigrate to Canada.

So, let's keep our hopes high.
Next week maybe is not going to be the week, but then if it's not, we'll at least get have a glimpse of the score distribution and maybe the 28th will be the day when many of us here will get our precious ITA.

i am at 405 if i had that .5 more in writing i would have at 462, may be i want to rush thru this process, i don't know about re-writing last time i was short by .5 in listening and this time writing,
may be i would just wait till CRS score reaches to us rather we reaching to CRS

At 405 you are almost in, it´s just a matter of weeks my friend.

 

[andieangel]

Why CIC???
