Ray of Hope - 74th Draw

[ishant27]

EE profile do not have option to enter number of work hours. ask your lawyer..

For each work history, there is a field for "Hours per week".
So technically you can provide # of hours/per week.
But cic only consider 30 hours/week.

So even if you add 80 hours/week, they will consider 30 hours only..

Hi, I submitted my profile on 2 Oct 2017. My score is 457 .. With the draw today (4 October 2017) the cutoff is 438 .. I was expecting to get a ITA, but I see no communication yet. Even my profile says I don't have a ITA as of now. How long does it take to get a ITA after the draw? Anyone else in the same boat?

I also forgot to mention that yesterday (3 Oct 2017) I got a auto generated email notification that my application has been updated. But when I logged in to see my profile - nothing .. no change (or atleast i couldn't figure out what changed.)

Sorry I didn't know about the draw that happened today i.e October 4th.
Any idea how long it takes to get the ITA?
My score is 473 but no update still.

Yes. Although it's generally no problem to submit with LOE about waiting for FBI PCC, CIC can be unpredictable and make mistakes, such as overlooking the LOE or rejecting people who did not get PCC for an under 6 month stay in a country. So if you have the luxury of declining and being virtually assured of getting another ITA in the next draw as you do, it can't hurt to keep your case as simple as possible to minimize the chances of CIC messing things up or even just slowing things down.

I know an applicant who was rejected for US pcc although he clearly stated in loe and uploaded all the proofs of PCC application
The irony is he did raise cse and uploaded after a week of AOR but after 12 days his application was rejected
The cse didnt even reach and the decision was made as cancelled due to incompleteness
So better to decline ITA and wait for a new ITA if you have a good score

Yikes, I'm disappointed to see more evidence that CIC is unpredictable and makes mistakes. Thanks for warning us!

Hello everyone,

I received ITA in the EE draw held on 4th October. I have applied through lawyer due to company policy and I have no access to my online account.

So the detail is that my CRS score was 430 with 1 years work experience in Canada. Next month my work experience will become 2 years and my score will become 441 but today my lawyer informed me that i received ITA and he sent me the ITA in which my CRS score was 441. Now when I asked lawyer that how come that happened? He replied me that IRCC calculates the experience as 30hour/week and 1560 hours as a year and I am working as 37 hours per week so for 2 years according to IRCC they consider 1560*2=3120 hours as two years but as I was working 37hours per week I have already done more than 3120 hours so IRCC considered my experience as 2 years and automatically updated my score as 441. So my question is that Is this true? Does IRCC system automatically updated the CRS score if your experience increases? waiting for your replies. Thank You

As eng.ahamdi said, fire this "lawyer" since he gives you totally wrong information. Trust me, I was in the same situation as you are... Do not work with this lawyer, he does not deserve your money and could put you into much more trouble later...

Even without work experience, new graduates can easily get an ITA. They don't have to wait for 1 year work experience if they're younger, excel their IELTS exams, and have studied in Canada for atleast 2-3 years. Altogether this is enough to get them an ITA.

As you have got your answer from another member also, without work exp there is no use of immigration economic immigration is all about work exp.

Dear senior,

Is it mandatory or just a custom to announce before 1 nov

Mandatory this is a law

I'm at 428 - can't decide if i should go for the ON PNP - the invitation expires in December.

ON pnp is temporarily on hold. Even if you have the invitation you cannot apply!
