Credential Help

Hi Guys,

I am currently predicting my crs score at 396. I am wanting to increase my score by getting another credential.

I have a Batchelor Degree (3 year) Sport Studies

If I enrol on a certificate in Health and fitness would that class as a credential? or would it be a diploma minimum? Thanks for your help guys!!

It will depend on the duration of that certificate course, and also how the agency evaluates it.
I'd recommend you go for improving your IELTS band scores, if you haven't already maxed it out.
If you are able to score at least 8777 in LRWS, then it'll literally boost your CRS score.

Otherwise, the certificate course will take more time to get extra points.
Although, you can definitely try for both of the above.

Thanks for the help mate,

Yeah I am booked onto an I.E.L.T exam at the end of the month, however I predict that even with band 9 score, I will still get 396.

Apart from Increasing my experience or taking a course I can not see another way of increasing my score, other than a job offer which will be tough to get.

My spouse is also aiming for 9 and she can not improve her crs points, I guess I will have o keep my fingers crossed for a 9 and the band score to come down slightly!

Has your spouse got her credentials evaluated? Got ECA for her education?
If not, then do it. It'll increase CRS.

Also, you should be checking with the PNP programs. You might get lucky by that way.

yeah mate, we will be getting our credentials assessed, we both have degrees so we get some points for that, yeah once in the pool we will be keeping our eye on the PNP and keeping our fingers crossed!

Any other tips you may have mate?

I'm sorry, couldn't get it.
Have you already got ECAs for you both? Or "Will be getting"?

Use this tool to calculate your points, will make your life easy http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

Put your current education, IELTS predictions and spouse factors.. see how much you would be getting. That should tell you if you need extra education or higher language scores.

Will will be getting ECA. We have both got degrees. So I know what points we will be getting for this.
