Ottawa VO seems to process applications by date submitted so you should get your turn soon.

I don’t think it’s by date submitted. Being a Jan 2020 AOR myself with an app which is all stages passed and pending final decision, I have seen many apps from 2019 still pending and many others later than mine already finalized.

but i have hopes that the scores will be not as high as ircc claimed and there will be a good number of invitations. All program draws will be back and i'm 99.5% sure

Honestly, I feel totally numb to any news about express entry, either good ones or bad ones. They keep changing their words. I am thinking like seriously this so-called "1st world country" came up with express entry system and in less than 5 years it turned into such a mess?

Dang, I am wondering how to "prove" relationship for an arranged marriage.

I added spouse after ITA. Marriage certificate was enough. We got MEP and BIL too.

1 year, if you study 6 months with a dedicated professor and 6 months by yourself.

I have already passed my 1 year studying by myself, but haven't achieved CLB 7 yet. It should be noted that I study only when the job permits it to me and sometimes I listen to French on the evening. Thats about it.

You can acheived faster I believe if you dedicate more hours.

Yes, you’ll have to do undertaking for any dependent and can’t have another dependent until the time passed. It’s more complicated then the US.

It’s tempting. From where I am from it is easier to spend 1 year learning French than to save 100k CAD for masters/mba in canada. I guess it all depends on personal situation, as delaying emigration for several years is also bad - those years is forgone income of 60-100k CAD with potential saving capacity of 20-60k per year assuming you can live comfortable for 40k per yearly in Canada. Need to NPV those scenarios

Then the only chance I have left to set my feet in Canda is by learning French

A visa officer can ask for proof of relationship when they are making the final decision.

100k for MBA/masters 1-2 years, which is alternative scenario of earning extra CRS points to learning french
