So maybe start by sharing your CRS score

Please reply based on my CRS score ..should i improve or can i apply for PR ?

CRS 447 is a good score, especially as you did not get a particularly good English language score. There is up to +96 available for your IELTS and +20 available for your spouse’s IELTS (and potentially +50 under Skill Transferability with good language scores). You only need around 471.

However, you have claimed 70+5 points for Canadian work experience. Have you ever actually worked in Canada?

Assuming neither of you have worked in Canada and you can get full marks on IELTS, that’s still 488. So your best option is to do better on IELTS and then apply via FSW program.

The answers to your earlier questions are that each PNP has its own CLB cut-offs depending on NOC level (typically 5 but you should check individually). Each PNP also has its own rules about job offers (it’s not required for the Express Entry aligned stream in Alberta and I’m not sure for Nova Scotia ... but I’m sure their website will tell you if you looked at it).

CLB9-10 gives you most points. CLB7 opens up additional points too and is probably the minimum you should aim for. Having a strategy for the written is very important (there are various youtube clips and posts).

No, sorry I forgot the +50 you may have also claimed in error. Suggest re-checking your CRS. Is it not actually 322?

Then PNP is basically your only option. You should check your NOC and find out about the different programs available.

You might find it difficult to get a job in Canada though. Contrary to population opinion, it’s not a nirvana with lots of decent jobs for immigrants and the cost of living is high even for Western countries. And, assuming you got CLB 6 in writing and CLB 7 in everything else, you might find your language skills are not yet enough. You might actual find your prospects and quality of life are worse in Canada than in India, especially as you’d no doubt have to send money home.

You could consider studying in Canada for 12+ months if that would be an option. They love Canadian experience and credentials. But it’s expensive and there are no guarantees.

I have probably raised more questions than answers. Sorry. But it’s important to be realistic and to make decisions with the head as well as the heart.
