Ray of Hope - 77th Draw

[Mandeep26]

By Oct 26th, total 2768 candidates were there at 1200- 431 score range and in addition, 500+ more candidates might be join within this range approximately total was 3300 by 1st Nov. on Nov 1st, on 75th and 76th draw, CIC gave 290 invitations within the score range mentioned above. 3300-290= 3010 candidates by Nov 1st. By Nov 8th, there is possibly of 600 more to join withing the score range. so it means, if CIC will give 3600 invitations on Nov 8th, score will come down to 431. we will see the actual figures on 77th draw.

You missed new candidates after IELTS results on I guess 27-28th Oct.

There is certain to be a draw tomorrow due to the 3-week interval. The vital information here is which quota they're gonna use:

2017 ( 2800+ ITAs with an increase in the score, getting near 440) or
2018 ( hopefully 3800+ ITAs with a slight decrease, 434/435).

Let’s hope it’s the latter one!

I have 90% of the required material ready for the immigration. Just waiting for the ITA. Hope 431s will get what we hope tomorrow.

After following the Ray of hope threads and On/Off situations on PNP/NOI etc for past few weeks , I can finally understand the wait games some of the senior member talked about in these forum.I am at CRS @ 424 and trying to increase my score by re appearing in IELTS ,but I guess the wait is never ending and requires good patience and lots of support from each others!!

If Ontario calls you, go for it - that's my advice. I am slightly below your score, took IELTS 4 times (scores vary) and felt huge relief when Ontairo sent me their NOI in July. At least no more exams, no more waiting for CRS to get dropped, no more Wednesdays without draws, etc. Mental health is important!

This is confusing. I have a same question

Hi all,
Please does it mean people who have NOI can still apply or can't they apply?

CRS cut off tomorrow is not that important as the draw size! 3500+ at least!

 

[Samroze]

just guessing as usual. it is the 3rd week since the last draw happen for FWS and CEC so just hoping there will be a draw with high volume may be 3364 invitations at 428 points.

If this happens treat from my side
I'm at 428

Atleast 3000 also can bring back our fading hopes

3800 seems too high for a start
AS per previous years, there is a gradual increase in draw size by 200 to 400 ITA's
Anything around 3000 will be a good start

When we've waited for so long waiting for one more draw shouldn't seem difficult.
Even if crs drops by 3 points (with rising of the draw size) it will become definite that in the next draw you will be in.
Hoping for bigger draw size...as it is the need of the hour

For those who are living in Canada already -

I went to a college here and got Post Graduate Working Permit after completing 2 years diploma.
I have submitted the application for PGWP in May but received the actual copy of the visa in December.

My question is - can the 5-6 months gap between the submission and the issue of visa be considered as valid work experience towards CEC?

Some people say it is, and some people don't. I even checked with CIC representatives and they all give me different answers..

If you are not in a hurry wait till Jan and see the trends if the crs keeps falling then it will definitely reach atleast 420 for sure.
On the other hand reattempting ielts is a good deal if you are sure that you can achieve clb 10

Did you use your SIN number for the 5-6 months of work pay? if yes, it means you were authorized to work. so you can Include those months as your Canadian experience I think. But it is just my personal opinion .
