Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[Uncle Yayo]

Well.... it is quite sad to see the PNP specific draw i think that IRCC is trying to use a flexible approach in inviting applicants and we just have to wait and see what they are up to .

I ve thought about this in every possible way... and all the angle points towards unfairness to fsw candidates.... but I guess there’s nothing we can do... their country.. their rules.. I just kinda feel bad for putting so much effort in this...

 

[RoverMover]

I hate to be that kinda of guy, but... can the guys “there’s no way the score will not drop into the 450-460” understand that it’s not going to happen?
The rate of increase in the 470+ range was of 153 candidates/day, so roughly 2200 candidates/fortnight. That’s from the average 800-1200 from the previous draw.
The rate will continue to increase. If people wants to get their ITAs, they will possibly need 475+, because very soon the rate will be back to the usual numbers pre-COVID.

Right! By doing this, they will make sure the scores are always up and above 470s. By choosing alternate draws, the cutoff score won't go down too much for both CEC and all program draws.

 

[Pyruvate1]

even if they invite 3900 fsw every two weeks, processing time will take more than 6 months. in any case, no one is expecting any fsw candidate to land in.

Exactly my point. I just hope next draw is FST or all program

Well..... you shouldn’t that bad buddy. We don’t know what they intend doing at the moment but it’s a good thing that they have conducted a draw at the moment and we hope they continue.

it’s all surprises these days and why not. We might see a surprise that might favor you too so get yourself together and see what happens next.

So 2,000 additions above 470+, shouldnt this be like a pent up demand wherein people have fast tracked submission of their profiles after the FSW draw came on 8th July and everyone expected a similar outcome today. This should ideally slow down right?

	19th July	6th July	Addition/(Reduction)
601-1200	383	360	23
501-600	183	652	-469
491-500	148	483	-335
481-490	347	1,600	-1,253
471-480	4,720	4,561	159
461-470	8,527	7,468	1,059
Total of 460 Above	14,308	15,124
Total of 470 Above	5,781 (A)	7,656
Less : ITA's issued on 8th July		3,900
Total Above 470 less ITAs issued		3,756 (C)
Addition in 470 Above (A-C) post previous draw	2,025

Is learning French too difficult for a complete beginner? How much time will it take approximately to study well enough to get a decent score in TEF or TCF? Can anybody share their experience?

I doubt so. there are some things you just can’t rush fast enough in 2 weeks, so the rate of inflow of high scoring candidates should be normal

I guess there was a small jump, but with this draw, should put off some of those people until there another FSW draw

Thanks a lot! Were you a beginner? How much time did it take you to get to B2?

Took one beginner class before, but the app starts you from 0, and you can even do a test to see where you stand. As far as B2, the least it can take is around 6 months, but you have to get the premium (7 usd month aprox). That link I sent allows you to have 30 days for free, so you can check it out!
It really has been great help!

I have duolingo as well, but I feel is more for casual learning. I combine both of them, free Duolingo and Premium Busuu

And did you appear for a French Test then?

No. 2,000 per fortnight was the indicated trend for more than a month now. Those who were speculating pool entry to be much less than that and saying the score would crash to the lower 460s was just misleading people. I hope people don't sit still waiting for those imaginary days and instead try to increase their score.
