Caution;long text below
today i will tell you an interesting story , a story of hardwork , of optimism and courage . I was here in the 127 ray of hope where my dream was broking , i believed that i had 469 point , but indeed my points were only 455 , at this time i had 2 choices either to join ever 2 weeks rays of hope and wait score todrop to 455 while knowing that its hard , and observing others getting their ITA and continu asking and crying in the forum ''when score will get down'' '' will score get down to 455'' , or try to improve my score by studying all the possibilities to do that , offcorse because i am a hardworking man i choose the second option. BUt the biggest question was how to improve my score so i can compete and have an ITA , i had already a master ^ i have a MD with 7 years but its considerated as a master ^ i have already clb 10 in french , so my solution was to learn english an attend an IELTS and i did that i took intensif english courses , i work already 10 hours per day , i added to those hard 10 hours , 5 hours of studying english per days to 2 full months . I attend 18 january session and yesterday i got clb 7 , so my score increased to 485 . take my story like an advice to never drop your hand , fix your objectif , and know that the only way to realise your dream is by hardworking.

guys I need to clarify something. I created an EE profile this morning and then I signed up for a job bank profile using the EE profile number and job seeker validation code. Is this all I need to do to be active in the pool or am I missing something ? also, the current status of my application is "submitted". I read somewhere that it should be changed to "Open" or something ? if so, how long does it take to update the status ? Please let me know if I have missed something. Many thanks !
Pretty sure you are in the pool and the "Submitted" status is correct. Job bank registration is optional as far as I know.

Sigh!

ash_diaz got me thinking about job bank as I haven’t even bothered to open that message and read through it

This may be a dumb question because I’m new to this. Any help/input is appreciated.

I have the CRS of 457 and can wait till August for my birthday until the score drops. Is there any hope for 457 in 2020 at all ?

Also if I go provincial , would I really need to stay minimum of 6 months if I cannot find the job there before I can put in the documents of justification for not finding a job in my line of work ?

Really try to improve your score , below 460 is risky

I'm at 469, will lose 5 points in June, and I'm super nervous I might not be able to get an ITA on time!
People seem to forget that we'll probably get a FSW draw around March/April, and after that, there's a reasonable chance of draws approaching 480. Try everything that you can to build a longterm plan to overcome the age factor. I'm studying french, with the goal to get CLB7 within the next 6 months, so that I can claim 12 extra points. That's the only way for me to continue in the pool with a competitive score.
My boyfriend is also doing an online postgraduate program to also improve our overall score.

It’s a smart move that you have started learning French.

Who knows,wednesday’s draw might come to 469.
