Even though I rarely post, I follow all the ray of hope threads I am currently sitting at 447, wife being the primary applicant because she's younger than me; other than that we both have the same qualifications, perfect IELTS scores and an MSc each, but lose a lot of points due to age. I am very hopeful now that I see the base dropping - the funny thing is that I'll be in Toronto from 18-26 February (I actually work for a Canadian company, but abroad; so no points for me). Wouldn't it be cool to get a nomination while being there?
That,s how you people keep the hope alive and infuse the spirit of winning and keep going . Thankyou all optimist out there. Hope we all get the PR soon.
There will be a draw definitely next week. They have had three draws last year with similar gaps (1w between draw 1 and draw 2 and 2 week between draw 2 and 3).
