Hi

I know you generally share your prediction just before the draw but am waiting at 469 and looking at the pool table, I hope there is still a chance for me in the next few draws. Just wanted your opinion on whether am grossly wrong or I should wait for the next draw?

It's possible the next draw might be FST though so brace yourself.

I checked 2019 draws. When FST happens it's the second draw in a month. As in they alternate with FSW. But this was back to back. And in Jan they did 3 FSW. So any conclusion can be drawn from that?

Well no one knows for sure. I am just saying that it *might* be, so you could prepare yourself. I also hope it isn't FST though.

Hi All

Is it true that a PNP application takes longer than a normal FSW EE application?
Also, how are the processing timelines looking as of late? I submitted my application on the 16th August - Still waiting for biometrics request.

Nothing of such. It's the same process.

thank you.

Your passport has more than 6 months of validity left as of today, you should complete the application and receive your AOR.

Once your COPR is approved and you receive your PPR email, you can raise a web form and let IRCC know the new passport number. (Depending on the timeline when you receive your PPR)

If you invest one month to renew the passport now, you might not be able to update the file since it freezes post the ITA? (the profile section)
Its best to carry on and receive AOR in my opinion with the current passport number.

3100 applicants applied (above 472 score) in last 14 days; therefore, the next cutoff, which is after 21 days, will be around 473-4

Based on your premise, the conclusion is weird, lol.
