Many congratulations to all those who made it in this draw. Especially international students and people stuck around 460 score for a long time. My brother was stuck at 447 until november 2016 and he got additional 15 points in november being an international student, hence 462 and finally made in in today's draw.
Actually as long as he obtains an ITA before his birthday he's fine.
"When a change in age results in the candidate no longer meeting the MEC or having their recalculated CRS points score fall below the lowest points score in that round of invitations, officers should consider applying the public policy to exempt applicants for permanent residence from certain age-based requirements between invitation to apply and application, based on section A25.2. This consideration can result in an exemption from the refusal of an application under section A11.2.
This public policy also grants an exemption to applicants who may be refused for failing to meet FSWC program requirements when their birthday occurs between the ITA and e-APR."
