Does anyone know if it's possible to cancel an EOR request?

How long did the remark process take?
protonz:
I am a silent follower of this thread. I want to appreciate everyone for their inputs, it has really been of immense help.

I took the ielts exam on the 10th of feb (cbt).The result was out on the 6th day...
L 7.5
W 6.0 (needed a at least 6.5)
R 8.0
S 7.0

Applied for EOR. Had to pay 44,750 since it was ukvi. After series of mails and disturbances, i was told to resubmit my details for confirmation, two days later i got a mail that my writing module has been increased to 6.5

Fastrack ielts was by far the most helpful youtube resource.

Ielts practice band 9 app, also came in handy

ieltsonlinetests.com, helped in timing and cbt simulation

No need to raise our hopes jare ...They've obviously decided to stop fsw invitations for some reason. Let's just pray they resume soon

The truth is most ITAs have gone to the CEC folks since draws resumed in July last year..How many FSW candidates can score 490+ without a connection to Canada, meanwhile the CEC candidates get additional points for Canadian education and work experience. A CEC candidate can cross 500 crs very easily compared to Fsw candidates not to talk of the pnp advantage they get as well.
I know people say IRCC owes us nothing, but the least they can do is communicate properly to people who want to become PRs. So that people can evaluate their options properly instead of being hopelessly stuck in the pool.
A lot of people have spent so much on this process multiple ielts, transcripts, eca, career plans on hold, etc. The uncertainty around the express entry process really isn't fair to anyone.

But then again, life is not fair...We just have to wait and see how things unfold.
Profgordons:


I don’t think this is correct, we have seen increase in FSW draws and even recently saw an FSW only draw so I do not really understand you. What will CEC people say if FSW is complaining, imagine you have had to pay school fees and even gain work experience yet you can’t get ITA.

Please rewrite IELTS if you can afford to. I noticed it after the previous draw. If we keep getting new profiles like this the scores are not going to go down. I had to tell my spouse to rewrite IELTS.... Moved from 488 to 490.

Did anyone see the number of new additions to the pool after today's PNP. At this rest it seems like it will take forever to get to 486 cry. Na to go max out ielts ooo.

It all depends on how many people IRCC decide to invite for the next draw. After the last draw, there are only 1,392 profiles above 500. So as long as IRCC invites 5000+ again in the next draw, the score is surely going to be in the mid to high 490s range
Timmypaul:
I doubt if there will be draw this week. It definitely gonna be next week, with the look of things the draw will still be around 500, going through the pool lots of people are above 500.

You will be seen as a purveyor of bad news . My people don't just like to face reality . I am at 490 at the moment but you see this CRS score system , it will take grace for draws to resume with it .

Are you sure about this? A quick google search revealed that there is a vfs global office in Luanda. Here is the address i found:
Portugal Visa Application Centre

Kingkendrick109:


Boss I need your help, I submitted my application early December with the hope of receiving the Biometric request sometime in January only for me receive it this week.
I am currently in Angola and there is no VAC here besides I am not yet eligible to even get a leave to travel out. I am really confused as to what to do, I also r read on the invite that I can raise webform to differ. Is it advisable to go that route stating I have been refused leave and attaching proof that I am in Angola and documents to back my claim? I don't know how it will affect the application

Shey you know cicnews is a blog created by the Cohen Immigration law firm. The same firm that manages candavisa.com website. They do not have access to any first hand information from ircc. Until ircc comes out to say CRS scores will not longer be relevant, it's best not to make such definitive statements and scare people.

Na CIC news be more speculation ? Lol grin

Yes i agree there will be targeted draws from 2023. The purpose of my post however was to dispute your claim that CRS scores will no longer be relevant when targeted draws start. It’s still unclear exactly how the draws will be carried out, what will be targeted, or how often.

I'm not sure this is entirely true. No one really knows how express entry will work once Bill c-19 is implemented. But from what Sean Fraser has said in interviews, the targeted draws will complement the existing system and not change it outright...So there may still be draws but not as frequently and CRS will likely remain high...Anyway, it's all just speculation cos only IRCC know what will happen.
XYZo:
So CRS score would soon be a thing of the past in early 2023 . It would only be by Job I'm demand or so , as stated by IRCC . I'm amazed no one is talking about this here . The impact would be quite enormous . Resitting for IELTS to ace the scores might also def be a thing of the past as that wouldn't matter anymore .

It won't be as easy as you're making it sound...Analysis of the pool breakdown the last few draws show that about 3000+ applications with crs 491+ get added to the pool every 2 weeks...It's the reason why the crs score is not dropping more than 2 to 3 points... Situation might get worse once c-19 starts too...
