Ray of Hope - 69th Draw

[Maverick28]

I think I already have 18 points out of the maximum of 24. I am in two minds whether to take IELTS again or apply for OINP when it opens

You are confusing FSW points with CRS score here. If you score 8,7,7,7 in L,R,W,S sections of IELTS, your CRS score will get a boost of around 20-30 points easily. It might be even more. Calculate your CRS points using the above IELTS score and see for yourself.

Are u sure,? Crossing 8777 in IELTS made almost 63 points difference in CRS for me
Plus you have a masters degree
Things not adding Up.

Absolutely It made a difference of 50 Points for me!

If you re-write the ielts, and get a lower score.....

Does writing a second ielts imply that the first one is no longer valid?

Does it mean only the most recent ielts can be used??

Give IELTS again as a Back-up plan and Wait for Ontario to open HCP Stream.

Keep on checking below link without fail on daily basis.

(OINP) First, Registering will be an Important then you can submit required docs in 14 days. Don't miss this as well.

Don't leave any option for now and not to rely on 1 option when you have decision to make.

All the best for the journey ahead.

Thank you!

You can use either of the score as long as they are valid. So if you had better scores with older test and it is still valid and will be valid till you submit your eAPR, you can use it.

My bad!
Just checked my EE profile.
CRS - Human Capital - First Official Language Proficiency: 113
This is the score I have for IELTS.
Not very sure what the maximum score is

You use new certificate and points
in nutshell you are claiming xyz score and showing a proof for it. Old score doesnt matter here,

Do you know what is the minimum score in all aspects of IELTS to reach 136?

Hi Friends,

I am the main applicant and am awaiting my IELTS score which is due on the 11th of August to initiate my EE Profile.

My husband would be submitting his passport for renewal and would have it by the end of this month, can i write a letter of explanation and inform the immigration authority about the same and on the EE profile mention his previous passport number to be able to create and submit my profile.

Awaiting your response.

You should go with OINP if it re-opens that early.

EDIT: There are a lot of people here who will tell you to wait for direct ITA and they themselves go ahead and apply for PNPs. Dont fall to the words of such people. Dont worry about 1500 dollars. You will likely earn that back in 10 days when you reach Canada

That's not true.
It's not about 1500 dollars. @kartheek89 , I am not trying to change your mind in anyway, but I want you to know both sides of the coin before you make a decision.

If you take PNP from a province, you are required to stay in that province only, unless you can furnish proofs of not getting a job despite efforts. Still you have to try for 2 years.
