Canada Express Entry eligibility

[aksTeLb]

Hi,

Few days ago i appeared for IELTS exam, below are my score

L: 6.5
R: 7.5
W: 6.5
S: 7

I am software professional in India having 5+ years of experience(27 Years, Single). I completed by Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering. (Recently i got ECA too).

I got CRS score of 380 when i checked in CIC website. If i would have scored 8 in L and 7+ in R,W,S my score would have crossed 420+.

I am not sure whether i will get express of interest from Ontorio province or not.

What will be best approach

1. Wait for Express of interest from Ontario based on 380 points. (When i googled, 400+ is necessary for express of interest from Ontario province)
or
2. Retake IELTS and improve CRS score(400+).

To book next slot for IELTS i will have to wait for another 3 months, can i go ahead with 380 CRS score for now?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Did you check if you are eligible under FSW? Please check come to canada tool if you are eligible.

You have to reappear for IELTS again to increase your score. OINP needs atleast 400 to get invite.

You cannot get Ontario expression of interest with 380 points. Your options are;

1. Retake IELTS
2. Apply for other PNPs. Check out the website for Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. Manitoba requires you to have a connection and I dont know much about New Brunswick/PEI
