For the first time in a long time, I missed a Wednesday here. We've got a serious illness in the extended family and helping out. But I picked up reading the last thread where I left off to keep up with all the people I know here and to experience the first person announcing the draw like everyone did yesterday.
Now, I'm just as disappointed with the result as everybody else. But I'd like to slap all the people whining about not receiving their ITAs after 5 minutes. FFS, if you didn't take the time to read that it could take up to 24 hours, how do you expect to be able to do all your ITA paperwork correctly?
And yes, I'm on a rant here. Because most of the rest of the posts were people with CRSs a lot higher then mine being depressed. To all of you folks, I just want to say, "STFU. Get off your butts and take action to improve your score."
Because I am old, even with perfect IELTS and only 2 points short of max on education, I have only 384 points. But instead of moaning here, I'm taking the long-term, very difficult steps it will take to become eligible for OINP. I leave for school in Toronto in less than a month. I'll be spending a year apart from my husband to earn more points. We're also learning french from scratch. Getting up to CLB 7 is going to take a lot of time and work. But it will be more points.
If you want to immigrate to Canada, don't waste time and energy. Take whatever steps are necessary for you to increase your score. Cheer on all the people who are working to improve their English to improve their IELTS. Read all the past advice on getting through the process. Contribute to helping others here. These are the things that will lead to becoming Canadian.
Rant over.
