Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

An email and a payment is what an hour/half a day...

For us it's two... Plus my husband gets paid gross and it's in a high interest savings account.. But it's still sensible advice and applies to many situations.

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

Anyone else get an email saying there was an update on your account/profile, only to log in and see there were no updates/messages?

Bit weird. Got me excited, only to dash my hopes moments later.

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

Yeah last week. I think it means the application is moving down the line wherever they are being processed. We have had a fair bit of activity since we got that email

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

Another request for another document today. It seems someone is looking at our application almost daily now. Eeeeeek

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

A change to the status of mine would be good.

Over a month since they requested my CELPIP, which I uploaded the same day and nothing has changed since....

We paid everything up-front.

I did an online change of address last week and the website says that even THAT takes 15 days to be processed....

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

We waited 2 months for any movement after submitting CELPIP. Maybe upfront payment doesn't make things move faster (not that we did)

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

New draw this evening! 482 points required, and 1,501 invited.

Of which, I was one! So excited to finally start my actual PR application! :D


(@kswoosh - Did you get your ITA? You should've just made it!)

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

Congratulations!!

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

Congrats!

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

I got an ITA too!!!

Omg I'm so freaking excited!

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

Yay, congrats :)

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

So......our 'a background check is needed' has gone from 'in progress' to 'not needed at this time' and it's made me nervous :( grrrrrr I wish there was some actual sense to this process

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

Yep yep yep! By the skin of my teeth! I could almost feel the jaws of the scooper scratching my bum as we were extracted from the pool! :lol:

So pleased after we only discussed it the other day!

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

Congrats to all that have just been invited!

Here's to hoping the minimum points drop next time round.

Do they have some schedule to which they send out invitations? seems a bit random at the moment..

Re: Express Entry Scores and Progress Thread
 

It is random, CIC have said "Express Entry draws are done at a frequency and in numbers that align with CIC’s processing capacity and annual levels targets" i.e. we'll do it when we need to or feel like it. :lol:

But they did say that there will be a total of 15-25 draws done in 2015, so that'll give you some idea at least.

HTH.
