Todays draw 453

alt3r3g0:


Correct. for the pool you only need ECA and language test.

Blackbuddy:


The article you quoted from (http://usanews-tv.com/canada-announce-visa-lottery-program-for-cameroon-breaking-news/) is not on a credible website to begin with. It has a link directing people to click to register, most likely, a way for fraudsters to get people's personal details. I didn't click it to find out.

I actually effected a Google search to see the credibility of the visa lottery news but the only hit for that was the article in the CIC news article I provided about the parents supervisa.

You're free to access the link in the article you provided but be careful if you first don't see anything about the 'lottery' in CIC's website, cheers.

453? That's exactly my score. I hope I get an invitation.

i must commend all the contributors on the group. i would like to begin my journey soon (say February when i write my IELTS)... LAUTECH has been on strike so i cant do my WES evaluation for now and thats what has been slowing me down. i also hope to finish my M.Sc in March or April so my points can boost up. so here comes my question.

1. if i were to be married at the time of application, that would mean my spouse will be the dependent. Now he doesn't have a degree at all but has more than 7years experience in the navy, would that bring my score down? (his score is quite low 200 and something from the ranking template)
2. if i were to be single at the time of application and eventually i am lucky to relocate. how long would it take me to file for him to join me as a husband and citizen? is that even possible for candidates of EE.
Thanks

Please has anyone experienced this?

I got an email today that I my account has been updated. When I logged in, I did not see the profile I submitted yesterday but instead saw anoda profile wch didn't show yesterday and said incomplete......

I am sitting at a crs of 469 and submitted yesterday and got the pdf asking for job bank reg.
In the portal yesterday, cre requirement was met.

I tried signing up for job bank but got stuck because they didn't send any validation email, had to leave it

I know ITA don't come early in the day but why these error/mishap? Could it be because I couldn't sign up to job bank yesterday?

Should I wait? Or simply ignore and fill a new EE profile?

After almost a year in the pool, also got an ITA

1. It is advisable to change marital status (get married) AFTER submitting your PR application then include your spouse in the application afterwards. No degree/no certificate of trade will put your scores down.

2. It is possible to bring a spouse here but the processing time is longer. The type of application is called Family Sponsorship.

My regards to everyone who have been contributing selflessly on this tread. Pls I have a short question . I just saw my ielts score (7,7,7,7.5 overall-7). I already completed ECA with ICAS. My only problem now is the POF. I'm currently building up the fund but then, is it advisable for me to fill the EE form now? What if I'm lucky and my POF not ready, what happens?

Your kind responds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all, you guys are wonderful.

Hello house,

Is there a chance of the ita cut-off mark coming down to 430 anytime soon?

Thanks

Hello Everyone!!!
Thank you for creating this thread.. I started reading last year and I finally applied two weeks ago. My crs is 473 so I am waiting to receive the ITA email as today's draw is 453. I have a few questions regarding POF, please help smiley
1) My husband received a very large sum of money in November that might raise suspicion. Should we use only my account to show POF?
2) Must we have the POF minimum balance for 6 months before submitting it or can it show a progressive growth each month? We didn't have the required funds as at 4 months ago but we have it now.
I hope both questions are clear. Please help!!

Thank you.

Are you married already? If yes, then you HAVE to indicate that you are married in your application. Since he does not have a degree, he can just do IELTS to get back 20 points out of the 30 points allocated to him from your CRS score.

However, if you are not married yet, you can submit your application as single applicant. You can add him to your application from the time you submitted your application till just before landing. If you do go this route, he won't have any effect on your score but you will need to increase your POF to a family of 2. He will also need to fill an application, do PCC and Medicals.

The final scenario is if you marry him after landing in Canada, then you will have to sponsor him. The processing time for family sponsorship was just recently been reduced to 12 months.
