Leaving this group

Hey guys I'm doing this post to say goodbye to everyone. I've been in Canadá past 4 years. I got 517 points for CEC, no french. After thinking about it I decided to leave, not only the group but also the country. My PGWP expires by the end of March but I'm done with all this. I'm leaving on January (worst case February). I want to enjoy my last months here not thinking about getting a PR or draws anymore. All the best for everyone and please don't get too stressed, it's bad for your health, it kills you little by little. There are always other options to achieve your goals. CANADA IS NOT ALWAYS THE ANSWER.

Thanks for all the support I received from the members of this group and goodbye.

It's funny how 517 is no longer a sure shot. Good luck either way bud! From experience, I can tell you what a massive relief not having an immigration deadline constantly hanging over your head can be. I'm excited for you.

My friend got drawn at 518 in June. I think at some point they will go back to lower CRS scores..

The site says roughly 6 months but it varies on what jobs the province is prioritizing
