Ray of Hope - 118th Draw

[sarak1812]

I think it would be between 460 to 463 if ita is 3350 based on previous gaps and FST draws in between.

If ITA is 3500 then 457-459

If ITA 3900 then 456-457

Increase in number of ITA will play important role in keeping the cutoff decentt

I only have bad luck in such matters, so I am sure it will remain above 460 through June and after my birthday will remain above 455

I think increase in number of ITA is for sure in next draw and I am hoping it would be 3900 .

What needs to be checked is with that number of ITAs will the score be 460 plus or between 457-460

Maybe the draw is on Friday. Just came across the IRCCtwitter handle that says they won’t respond to questions on 23rd May. Maybe something’s in store for the Friday! Cheers!!

No one is pissed off, this is common, happens in every city across the world. And yes Indian are migrating because since last 1000 year, people migrate to India, now it is India's turn to migrate to other countries. So just relax and enjoy your success

Lol that’s wrong Indians are migrate including me for better job and for Dollars

Then why don't you move from GTA to New Brunswick to make Canadians happy?

Because I hv my own house in GTA. Lol dude I am talking about current scenarios

You are absolutely wrong brother. Immigration and accepting refugees has been in practice with Canada from stone age, you will find Non speaking immigrants living here for 1000's of years from all over. India alone is no exception.

Almost 40% new immigrants were indian last year . And I don’t oppose immigration I am telling Canadians are supporting Conservatives because they don’t want too many immigrants

immigration is the backbone of canadian economy. Canada has an increasing number of ageing people and the money immigrants bring helps support Canada's vital systems such as healthcare.The election results wont mean a complete U turn in immigration policy IMO because the advisers and finance guys in the govt will know better.

And dont expect too high cut off score. Remember that only a very small % of people has the ability/qualifications to score 450+.

Little disappointed about no draw today. I guess a little bit of patience is good for everyone.

But why would the draw involve the folks handling their customer-care or social-media handles ..? Of course I too wish it is tomorrow , but I think we're looking at next week now sadly

May be they are saying that they won't reply on Twitter because tomorrow there will be draw and giving ITA's so they will be busy

I am a new member here. Completed 3 years a week ago and decided to update my profile . Score jumped from 442 to 467 (was able to secure a letter with detailed description and added 1.5 years worth of experience). Was hoping that the draw would happen today but it didn't .

Yes, welcome to the group of the disappointed folks

Can someone please help me understand, why or how has world changed in matter of 5 months?
I look at 2018 and 2017 scores, shooting to 450+ was occassionaly.E.g. 2018 May saw score jump to 457 but broadly it was in 440-446 range.

Why this year, score is not coming down. There has to be some other factor influencing this, no?

I can see recently a lot of people coming onsite to Canada from IT companies on temporary work permit like Cognizant, Infosys, TCS if they do not get US visa. They get a lot of points for each year of Canadian experience, around 40 points or more per year of Canadian experience. It is easy for them to get more than 450+ points even with poor IELTS scores. I heard that last year 3000 people came from one of these IT companies. That means this year 3000 ITAs will go to just to employees of that one company as they would have 1 year Canadian experience by now. This is one reason cut offs are higher. Canada has also recently become popular destination for Indians students to do their Masters. If they do a one year Masters course, they get 3 years open work permit to work in Canada. They get extra points for Canadians masters, then each year they work in Canada they receive additional points. It is easy for them to get way higher than 460 points even with poor IELTS scores.
