Probably not too surprising that the score went up considerably, given that it was 5 weeks since the last round...
I'm annoyed about it but not too surprised or worried.

The last draw before the score dipped below the 500 mark was around 750, so it's still possible that it will drop back down again. It was low for 4 draws. I would be extremely surprised if it doesn't go back down again within the next few months.


(A little peeved that if I had booked my language test the first time I looked rather than the second, it would've been a month earlier, therefore I would've been in EE sooner and have an ITA by now, but that's my own fault!)

Based on reading elsewhere, it looks like CIC don't necessarily update until the end of their processing!

Same for me!! (Except it was ECA for me, not language test.)

So frustrating!

Good luck - I hope you get grabbed soon. What's your score? I'm at 482.

That's the correct number. ECAS seems to never be updated though!

I'm not getting anything... Just says they're not able to identify me using the information provided.

I submitted my application for PR on May 5th and the on thing I've got is review in progress for my eligibility.

They probably just haven't synced yet or something, our ECAS status has never changed from 'application received' so I wouldn't worry.

Some people's medicals are passed right away, ours still hasn't been set to pass and we submitted on March 3rd.

There seems to be no real pattern so far....

Ye it could be something like that, cheers! I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be any sort of pattern... I was just curious as to why I couldn't get into my Ecas... Then the mind wonders and start thinking there's something wrong with the application since they say they haven't received it yet!

Ohh I hear you. I have my email open at work and as soon as I see I have a new one, I immediately start panicking. I check the My CIC account daily if not twice a day to see if there have been any updates. This whole process is a stress minefield

I have 494. I think we're part of the few lucky ones that don't have LMIA or PNP that still stand a real chance of an ITA. Hopefully this month will see the same trend as the last few and there'll be another draw this weekend. Hopefully it drops significantly again.

Yes indeed - feeling more Canadian by the day...

There is a family of deer that wander round our subdivision, a black bear walked past the front of our new house this afternoon and now I'm listening to our in-ground sprinklers watering the garden, rather than having to do it myself!

You can't get much more naturalised than that!

Possible increase in scores for some people under CEC announced yesterday:

Ministerial Instructions Amending the Ministerial Instructions Respecting the Express Entry System (Canadian Work Experience — Paragraphs15(3)(b) and 19(4)(b))

All Canadian work experience now counts - it doesn't have to be continuous and they have changed the word 'Employment' to 'Work'.

This probably just clears up a few errors on their part, but may help some people get a ranking score.
