Can you migrate to Canada if you are 35 years old with current cut off scores?

[Attrey]

Hello,

I am in Express entry pool now but just turned 35 years. So do i still have any chances of successful migration with the current cutoff scores?

Thanks a ton.

That depends on your circumstances.
Use the points calculator to see where you are at now, and if you can increase your scores in anyway.

Yes - it's certainly possible if you have enough points.

 

[Attrey]

Thanks for such quick response. I have calculated my options and doing a masters or diploma to give me enough points again will not really work as I will loose age factor points .
Is there any other option?

Maybe Provincial nominee program

Thanks but I don’t have. I am trying fo

Maybe Provincial nominee program

i am trying for that option only now . But just wanted to know if people have actually managed it through this at 35 years ? What if you go for entrepreneurship?

What's your CRS & NOC ?

What's your CRS & NOC ?

What is NOC ? How do I find that out ?

With >35 and no invitation from a province, you have a chance if you speak both French and English. That is my case (485 points). If you don't speak French, then you need to go for a PNP (that's why you need to know your NOC).

Thanks for sharing this as it contains good information that I wasn’t aware of. I am in class A as am an Architect.
But I don’t know French . So still my option of mastering it suddenly in less time is not practical . But you have given me a very good info on how to increase the points .

Your age really doesn't matter as long as you achieve the desirable score.

Of course, with 35, you must have way more qualification than people younger than 30 which make things more expensive and difficult, but not impossible.

Just use CRS calculator and see what you should do to achieve the score with the age you would have by then.

I am also in the pool and I have 33 years old. My husband is 36. I am currently working to improve my score and by the time I finish I will be 34.

You have several options. With NOC 2151 you have to find which provinces are in demand of architects, and be aware that you may fit in more than one NOC. For instance, some architects (2151) develop a career as civil engineers (2131), which is in demand in Nova Scotia (https://oneclickvisas.com/immigration-news/which-nocs-are-in-demand-in-canada/)

Another option is to find a job offer and 1) go on a year under a regular work permit, then apply for PR or 2) see if with that job offer you get to the necessary points (around 470) to get an ITA. I got an ITA at 37. Good luck!

Thanks so much . I am in pool now and I know points will drop drastically even if I start a masters or something bcz by the time I get in the pool again with more point my age factor will nullify it. But i am really trying to figure out which area I can focus on to get more points .

Most people told me it’s not possible to get a job offer from there unless you have a pr number. And I saw most of Job sites ask you to fill a mobile number as well. So how can I apply if am just in express entry pool only and don’t have a PR.

It is difficult, that is right. I tried and decided to wait until PR. But it is not impossible. If you check youtube, there are some cases and testimonies. Networking on linkedin may help, trying to talk to people in your field and understanding how's the demand and what are your chances (for instance, for software developers it is definitely possible to get a job offer from outside). For the mobile number, consider getting a Canadian number from abroad using Text Me for Android or similar apps. But I think is easier to just start talking to people on your field on LinkedIn.
