7th draw done, ITAs 925 and cut off score 469

[vik_m]

This has been discussed many, many times in this forum.

The hours are just provided to calculate the equivalent if you work part-time. If you work more than 30h per week, it doesn't matter how many hours you work - you can only count your work experience on a date-to-date basis.

Your work experience is therefore 1.6 years for EE purposes.

If you require details, please do a search.

Hey Thanks, one more small query..

other than 1.6 yrs regular exp I have 6 months & 4 months part time exp with same 48 hrs a week...so can I use that as well in my EE profile..

Not true.... Once you receive an ITA it will only require proof of jobs that counted towards your score. That's what happened to me anyway.

You can add that in your profile, however it needs to be in the same NOC as your primary job in order to potentially collect points for it.

Also note that, once you've received an ITA, you will have to supply reference letters and additional proof such as pay stubs for every job you enter under the work experience section, regardless of whether or not you received CRS points for it.

Thanks Dear...as it is part time so salary were in cash form however reference letter I have but no appointment letter for the part time...I dont now whether it is acceptable or not.

How did you get the 1500?
I saw around +30-40 for every month on the ee spreadsheet. multiply by 20, at most 600-800.

Between 6th and 7th draw, they were able to pick candidates above 469 (which didn't get picked in 453 draw)... Let's assume some (at Max 15%) were the ones who rejected the 6th (453 cut-off draw), rest all would have entered the pool after the 6th draw... And, between 6th & 7th draw, the time was way less than a month...

Apart from this, popularity of EE is exacerbating the situation further... I hope am wrong though, coz if this is true, there a lot of people with 450+ points... And cut-off is not going to drop soon then...

The reference letter needs to meet the criteria detailed in this post. If it doesn't, ask them to give you a new one that does.

I have still doubt on 285K application which is next to impossible by any immigration within one year, I believe their target is just 25K as I said before and out of which 6500 plus already got ITA. Like wise this time next all the draw may be around 1000ITA range....

You do realize the 285K includes all immigration streams and not just EE/FSW?

Hey thanks for the info...

Do we have NOC wise list under FSW category and can we know that whether released ITA belong to which category i.e. NOC or FSW etc..

Unfortunately no, though I expect things would be more transparent once CIC grips confidence over the new system

What time do the draws normally take place?
