Goal of this post

I am looking for pointers from this community on immigration programs that I have a good shot at. While I am reviewing for potential fit myself, I would truly benefit from the invaluable experience of y'all here. Below I share details relevant to my application

Details of my candidacy
  1. <25 year old single individual with <4 years of full time work experience as a cybersecurity analyst (current occupation)
  2. 3 years bachelors degree that per ECA is equivalent to a Bachelor's degree in Canada
  3. Got 8.0 in IELTS overall
  4. No job offer from Canadian employers or education in Canada
  5. Two family connections to Alberta (uncle, and grandma) and one more to Canada (uncle)
  6. Adequate funds per proof of funds guidance for single applicant
  7. CRS of between 435 and 440
Programs I am exploring and my subjective assessment
  1. FSW (with my low score I reckon my chances are low short of a provincial nomination?)
  2. AIP (without a job offer, I don't qualify for the accelerated tech pathway, and my family connections - uncle, grandma - don't qualify for the family connections program)
  3. SINP (based on my calculations on the SINP grid, I get only 58 points - so 2 short of the minimum 60 required?)
Questions

  1. What other / specific immigration programs should I explore?
  2. Am I missing out something about the programs I am looking at?

I would sincerely appreciate any pointers you have to offer!

Immigration programs are competitive. You need to increase your score. Most likely you will need to do at least two of the following: Max out your English language results to get the most points. Learn French and take the French language test. Get a Master's, preferably as an international student in Canada. Secure an LMIA supported job offer in Canada.
