Federal Skilled worker Visa... Am I Eligible?

[arun_a_r]

Dear Friends,
I am planning to take a PR to Canada, and i came through the Skilled worker program. I came to know that the pointing system is out of 100 and if we earn 67 we are eligible. I have two doubts.

1.Is there any pool system after getting this minimum point or we will get an entry soon?
2. I am a graduate in English Literature (India, 3 year program) and my experience is 6.5 years in IT (servers,OS etc) Is there any issue if i don't have a technical graduation and with an irrelevant experience with the qualification?
Please help.

1. There is a pool. Just because you have 67 points doesn't mean you will be selected. You have to calculate your CSR points - this is a different calculation. If you have 430 or more, you'll likely be selected. Otherwise hard to say if you will be selected or not.
2. Your experience doesn't have to match your education.

Hiring a consultant will be an additional burden on your part financially. I suggest you do some research first about express entry. If you have any unclear information you want to clarify, you can always post questions on this forum. You will get a lot of help for free.
