Ray of Hope - 158th Draw

[Dexterity1919]

Just got the ITA. Do you guys know how to get PCC from SFO Consulate. Is it open ? Can I go there in person or will I have to send everything by mail?

In the same boat, I saw a notice on there website that it's closed for all in person transactions.

Any chance it will get to 466 before October? my birthday is second week of October and I will lose 6 points

If they do all program draws every two weeks, it's possible, but if they do alternating draws, looks like a stretch to me

Quite difficult. There’s tremendous density in the pool in the late 460s and early 470s with candidates building up for almost 10 months.. Even with fortnightly draws, points will drop only 1-2 per draw once it gets down to those levels.

Further, there will almost certainly be an FST draw in September or early October, which will delay things again. Last year I was in your same position with 463 and confident I’d get the ITA before my birthday. But then the October FST came and the cutoff score went right back up.

I believe we have 90 days to a accept and submit the documents. Can anyone confirm?
I think first step is to submit your travel history of the past 10 years, then the system will tell you which documents you need to upload.
As expressed already, got the ITA today, so I haven't done any of this

If this regularly happens in the upcoming draws then it will continue in the same phase btw 465 - 476
I don't think it might come down below 465 b'coz now more applicants are joining in the pool above 465 range.

Only PNP or Job Offer through Job Bank would be savior for those below this range.
Best of Luck All !!

From your signature, your IELTS writing is 7 isn't it? If you bring it up to 7.5, won't you get 3 points more? 469 is safer territory although still difficult.

Have you read your ITA message? It was stated very clearly.

Hi everyone,

I have received my ITA and am preparing to submit my PR sometime soon. I was wondering, is it possible to submit a letter of support/endorsement/invitation written by a friend-Canadian citizen in support of my candidacy? Is it allowed?

Thank you!

Hi All

Is there anyone able to assist me?
I received an ITA, busy completing the remainder of the information and I am stuck at "Personal History".
I have filled everything in, there are no errors/blanks when I save & exit. When I go back in it keeps telling me that there is information outstanding.

Thanks,

Not required.

Not required.

Thanks. I know it's not required but I wonder if it is possible to submit one anyway to boost my application?
