#Fact - With the way CRS scores are trending and considering the annual immigration targets, in the coming years there will be a flood of international students in Canada, who have lived in Canada, studied in Canada, worked in Canada and yet can not find a way to become PR. There are more than 500,000 international students in Canada and the numbers are increasing.
In that situation people applying for PR from outside Canada may ONLY have a very limited PNP option.
An FSW single applicant of age 29 and below with 3 years of work experience, Masters degree, no siblings in Canada and CLB9 will score 469.
Make that IELTS CLB10, the scores shoot to 481.
So a person who has Canadian education /work experience will certain have an advantage of additional points, which will compensate even if they do not score CLB9 or 10.
Not to mention that PNPs will always give advantage to people who have lived, worked, studied in their province.
The point in my mundane post?
If the trends are to be believed, it oddly looks like closed doors for CRS below 450 in EE
Scores between 451-460 may see a freak draw or 2 that are back to back and therefore help in clearing some of those profiles stuck in that range.
460-470 have a very nervous, nail biting wait from draw to draw, which again will be helped with back to back draw.
-----------------
If the numbers are to be believed, the suggestion would be to actively look and exhaust every PNP option possible. RNIP is just beginning to take shape, keep a sharp eye on it to see how that process trends.
If studying in Canada is an option, explore it.
If French, seems possible, make it happen.
If you are stuck for few points with CLB9, work on getting CLB10.
Always be on a lookout for a job offer. As difficult and out of reach it may seem, people do get it.
If you are single, maybe it's time to get active in the Canadian matrimony market and you may find your soulmate here.

As dismissive this post may sound, it's all real.
And don't blame me, it's my Happy Wedding Anniversary today, what else did you expect.
Edit: LOL guys, the post was hardly to draw attention to my anniversary, but on how frightful EE looks, just like my married life.
