Can someone supply a link to this info?

See post no. 93, it's there. But here have been two further draws since BTJ posted that though, the lowest score from those selected was 808 I believe.

HTH.

Just got my Invitation To Apply at 6.40pm today, after applying on Tuesday

Qualified under CEC (as I've been working here since November 2013). Guess I wasted my application fee for BC PNP route (unless we stay on the slooooooooow train...), although there's no harm in becoming a Provincial Nominee as well!

Time to get cracking!

Congrats! Although if you don't continue with your PNP app, doesn't that mean your daughter can no longer get a visa?

Have that devision still to make...

Looks like the latest draw (#4) was 1187 ITAs, with the points cut off at 735.

Getting lower...

I'm tempted to throw my hat in the ring, even without an LMIA/PNP. I have 506pts, already have my IELTS (just need my ECA).

I think being in the pool and not getting selected will be easier to take than not being in the pool, and there being a freak month where the points cut off drops below 600.

It's unlikely, but I think I would be devastated if it did and I missed out.

735?....well thats my prediction of never going below 800 out the window!!

However once again there is no way anyone can obtain that level or higher without a PNP or job offer and the extra 600...(as max 600 is available personal)

could drop to 605...and without the above it may as well be 905

Completely agree with you. Especially when you have to be in the pool to get PNP in some places anyway. Might as well be in there just in case, and then supplement it if you can for the extra 600 points.

I'm starting to feel so much more confident about the situation.

The system sounds like one where there is no downside to being in the pool. Therefore, why wouldn't you throw your hat in earlier?

Good luck

BTJ

Well the language test and ECA aren't exactly cheap if you have a snowball's chance in hell of being selected.

Right - very fair point.

The immigration business is very expensive, that's true.

Basically this.

I didn't want to shell out a load of money for nothing.

Going to send off for my ECA in a few days, though.

Fingers crossed.

Good luck.

So is the paperwork fairly simple to do then? We are in the same position as Cubiscus where the time spent doing the app etc. has to be billed to a client so his work refuses to do it. He has been working for the company for 19 years (and nearly 2 of those in Canada) so it's a bit disappointing.
If we could do it for them though...

It's basically a paper gathering exercise... Police certificate, job references, bank statements etc. We did application in a couple of evenings, and then as above gathering evidence. It might help that we have both held our previous jobs for the last ten years so not much to do on that front. My use of Facebook was a godsend for travel history- filled a few pieces in
