Ray of Hope - 92nd Draw

[samikdg]

One interesting observation is generally the people who are closest to getting the ITA if draw happens today, meaning those on 440 and 439 are getting the most depressed. Most probably they will get ITA within next 2-3 draws even if it does not happen today. Other hand, those with scores of 435 or below are keeping the hope up. Giving an analogy from cricket, when you don't have almost any hope chasing a big total, you play freely; but if you're close to your target, you become nervous and panic with even 2 dot balls

That is very interesting! Perhaps it's because these people already imagined that they had it today. They spent all week thinking the Wednesday the 6th was the day they'd receive their long-awaited ITA. And then it doesn't happen. Something you were sure you had disappeared. How disappointing. The people further down were never sure, so they don't really have a hope to be crushed in the same sense.

If there's no draw today, there could be one tomorrow. It happened before so don't hold your breath people.

Common people, it's not 'Ray of Pessimism' . It will happen and it will happen today. _/\_

This is disastrous for ppl in 430s..
Their intentions are clear. Get above 440 or don't even dream abt Canada..

This made me laugh. Since it has a double meaning there (the second name).

It has always been like that. Merit based system is not for every Dick just for smart Dicks. And Tom and Harry are welcome too.

@abhishek_89 what do you think man? If i can improve 0.5 in writing I would have the score of (443-5) in august!! WIll CRS ever reach 438? I doubt it now!

That's too long a timeline to predict and now CIC has altered the frequency too (if they don't have a draw today). With CRS 440 you could still make it by July if not today.

Last time I checked, it's IRCC that sent out draws, not God, so...

IRCC works in mysterious ways.

Hope you are a GOD fearing person brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if the smart dicks were allowed at 413 why cant the even smarter dicks get in with 430s...smh

 

[Mayur_M]

yes, but sadly, Birthdays also come... so time is precious

I know, mine brought me down to 440 from 445.

Can you please elaborate on what you mean by "altered the frequency"? Isn't it quite normal that CIC sometimes have three week gaps between draws? They had one in March and one in January. Or is it something else that you are referring to?

Well, the smart Dicks at 430 got more competition now. It was never about 413 or 423, it was about quota and getting the best 75k or 85k or 95k a year. If all 90k a year are met at CRS 465 then someone like me at 435 is not a smart Dick.
