I found out about EE from someone on my team who did the FSW route right after I convinced my company to sponsor his green card lol. It was mid 2018. He created a profile, got an ITA the next day, then got PR in less then 3 months. He thought it was a scam at first lol
I did dome research on what some good places are to settle for people in my profession (2175), based of quality of living, expenses, career opportunities, income profiles, local communities etc. All of them came down to just 3-4 countries.. Canada, Germany, USA etc in no particular order but in every single website that talked about what I was looking for Canada was within top 3. Then I read a yearly report from Dribbble that talked about their platform from a global viewpoint based on real statistics and that settled it for me; it’s either Toronto or Munich. Then I started searching about ways to immigration and found that I qualify for FSW under express entry but it was too late. At that point I had 5 years of experience and that was 2019 November. I wish I had someone to guide me when I graduated or when I started working.
2175 is eligible for Ontario tech draws. If ever you don’t make it for EE, the tech draws will hopefully back you up. Late is definitely better than never.
My score is 471 as of now. People tell me there is a sweet spot one has to be in, somewhere between 454-464 maybe, to be qualified for PNP.
The first ON tech draw of 2021 selected scores between 453 and 467, and invited ~1000 people. Last year, they invited ~6000 through this stream, so there's a good chance they'll have more this year, and you may or may not fall in that sweet spot. Tech draw in January 2020 (not 2021) selected scores upto 475. The score has always been below 470 since.
The Cec draws have kind of messed up their selecting logics. Normally, they would select those that could not make it in the previous draws. Therefore, either you make it for the EE draw or the next tech draw would save you.
