R u married?? If so ur spouses language proficiency can add up some point for u??Doing Masters is a long process..n would take 3 years from ur life..U can either try for student visa..Go for masters there or Doing french can also add up some point for u..That is also way out..i am at 431 n i am also thinking in these lines..or else clb10 will make my score jump to 440..Let the ray of hope intact..There is always a way out..
He lost 25 points on transferability, that's why. But he can do any post secondary diploma for 1 year (and it does not have to be master). That will give him:
1. 25 points in transferability + some points for 2 diplomas.
So he will loose like 5 points but he will gain 30+ points = 25+ points for him
So in his case studies is the best way.
