Ray of Hope 66th Draw

[Lightinthedark]

I cant read this anymore, CIC give the people their F'n draw!

Haha! I know right! The tension for a draw is palpable on here but it's such a good laughable read

Draws are like sex, gotta have them at least twice a month... no excuses!

I agree. However, rejections are just about 1% of applications. I know many applicants don't accept invitation because of different reasons, however expecting that CIC will keep issuing ~8k ITAs per month is not correct.

Actually there is 40% declining ITA for all sort of reasons, that's why CIC can issue number of ITAs same as before!

Correct

thank you

Well... someone's not in the mood then.... seeing as we haven't got 'any' this month

Actually he's being the mature one in this conversation, and you're the one being toxic, so maybe back down just a bit.

Actually you should read his post about NOI that is true maturity! Real wisdom and brain all over the place! You are right!

Haha well knowing in Croatia the last time a man won a fight with a woman was in 1786., I wouldnt so easily accept that challenge! He is very brave. We are tough!

Well on the flip side CIC has made me write PHP , Python all in the name of anticipating a draw. So the counter I made initially, runs on PHP, then I was using visualping till I got a mail from them saying I will soon exhaust my units. And I was like well I could write one myself. Python to the rescue

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import requests
import bs4

my_url = "http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/rounds.asp"

def get_announcement():
    response = requests.get(my_url).text
    soup = bs4.BeautifulSoup(response)
    para = soup.find("h2", {"id": "results"})
    selected = para.find_next_sibling('p').text
    print selected
    print "\n\n"
    if "May" not in selected:
            send_mail( "ITA has been issued")
    else:
            print( "Same old. NO ITA Yet")


def send_mail(message):
    return requests.post(
        "https://api.mailgun.net/v3/sandbox0da971e3ff474b71a6cacdcbb32bb09d.mailgun.org/messages",
        auth=("api", "YOUR_KEY_HERE"),
        data={"from": "Mailgun Sandbox <postmaster@sandbox0da971e3ff474b71a6cacdcbb32bb09d.mailgun.org>",
              "to": "YOUR_NAME <YOUR_MAIL>",
              "subject": "ITA Has Been Issued",
              "text": message})

get_announcement()

So this dude will send me a mail once the draw page is updated. I guess we all go through stress and tension in different ways. Good night guys

I honestly do not know why all y'all are applying for the OINP. Unless you received your Expression of Interest letter at least 4 months ago, what's the point on paying 1500 CAD, not to mention all additional translations and documental charges, to STILL depend on a draw? Afaik, Canada has a goal of approx. 73k ITAs this year, and so far about 30k have been handed out. Unless you have really low scores, I don't see the point. The EOI is valid for 6 months, and it takes time to process, so you might end up tossing 1500 CAD in the trash.

We can wait for crs to go down, or we can do what we can to increase our crs and not leave ita to chances. It is true that oinp costs 1500 cad, but it is completely worth it if it helps us get an ita sooner. Oinp applications are being processed within weeks now. Plus with various oinp streams closing really fast, i didnt want to regret not applying and find out the crs hit rock bottom at 411. Plus i will be losing 5 points in august.

You seem to have calculated your risks. What I meant, but was probably not very well conveyed, is that applying for the OINP is not necessarily faster, despite being considerably expensive and cumbersome.

Too late now... your secret is out
