Without a job offer, unlikely.

Hi PMM,
I seem to qualify by the points.( I am assuming a high prof in English can be established by my TOEFL score(104/120). )

1 Education 25 25
2 Language Ability 24 16
3 Work Experience 21 17
4 Age 10 10
5 Arranged Employment 10 0
6 Adaptability 10 0
Total Score 100 68

Also while in Canada I hope to pick up French.

any inputs?

Your TOEFL score will not be counted, you require at least a 7 band in all 4 sections of the IELTS. If you don't make that, you will not have 16 points for language. For french you have to take the TEF
