Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
+1
Having more than 600 points kind of guarantees you to be drawn at the next round, given that the minimum requirements for the last draws in April were below 500 points.
The last round was April 17th, so there should be one soon !

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
But they pick both CEC and FSW applicants who meet the minimum requirements for the draw, correct?

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
I believe not. Your score in points (thus ranking) is not influenced by the category you are eligible to.
The logic goes like this :
1/ Are you eligible to one of the programs ? (Skilled worker, Experience class, etc).
2/ if yes, you can be in the pool, and they give you points for what you are right now ( age, education, past experience, etc),
3/ Once you're drawn and sent an ITA, you apply, period. You don't need to worry or choose a particular category, Express Entry does it for you.

Like others have mentioned, there was one draw that was stream specific, but every other one has been open to all (although the high scores weren't achievable for CEC applicants until the more recent draws, they weren't specifically excluded).

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
Interesting that there hasn't been a Draw since 17th April.
I wonder if they are taking a 'break' to fix all of the mistakes, errors and website faults that they have found during our Beta testing of the system?
Will there be one this weekend? On a holiday weekend? We can only wait and see!

Ours is the same apart from Background check not started.
I'm impatient. Only been trying to achieve this on-and-off since 2008

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
It might be worth a call to the helpline.
It will either raise a flag that they have a problem or they will tell you it's in process.
Nothing to lose by making a call - remember we are Beta testing their system for them!

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
Have you checked that you haven't missed any messages or letters on your CIC login? Some of them are in drop-downs.

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
We have had requests for further information and criminal record checks all of which we have provided within days. I check our 'my cic' page every day incase something changes and we don't get a notification so I know nothing has been missed. Maybe I will try calling as I know our medicals wouldn't have turned anything up so they should have passed.

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
Meanwhile, I'm patiently waiting for the next draw. It's been a whole month since the last one! Hopeful for either this weekend or next.
