CRS 375 - shall I apply or not

[Harsha1221]

Hi All, with my wife as primary we are getting CRS 375, is it good to apply and wait in the pool. And also what best options like PNP, Resume Marketing, are to be explored to ensure getting ITA. Please provide available options for me.

my profile: Bachelors - 9.5 years IT exp - 31 age
wife profile: Masters - 2 years IT exp - 26 age

Try to explore if making your wife the Primary Applicant helps your score - she is younger and has a masters degree

If there is scope - raise your IELTS Score

Try picking your score above 400 for Ontario nomination.

Currently its looking like an uphill task

Dont worry bro, just like you i was having a very low score
But I tried promoting myself to different provinces by sending applications and I was finally picked by Nova Scotia.
what i suggest you is to keep visiting province website and find when they inviting application.
If lucky you will get nominated by province

You only have 3 real options.

1) Wait for your wife to get another year of work experience. This will earn you another 12 or 25 points, depending on your wife's language results.
2) Improve language results.
3) PNP.
(Getting a job offer is not a reliable option; it is almost impossible to get a job from outside Canada.)

PNP is probably the only option that will get your score high enough for ITA. But improving your score could push you over the 400 points threshold for Ontario PNP, if that's where you want to go. Otherwise, PEI and NB are generally the easiest PNs to get.

+1 to you for that.

Most of the people in forum would have discouraged him saying you stand no where , just go and improve your IELTS though the fact is more of the PR given through express entry are PNP based and scores never matter for them. many of the applicants below 400 have successfully got PR through PNp's.

@harsha1221. IF you understand the EE system, more than improving your IELTS score (must keep trying) try for pnp. As suggested make your wife as PA and you scores would improve automatically on completion of her 3 yrs of work. It is a good field and the NOC will be considered by many provinces. Time being you can apply to PEI, which is open. Wait for NB PNP to start open category and SINP. check Qubec too.

My NOC is 2174 I guess being an software employee. " Computer programmers and interactive media developers"

IELTS scores:

My score: R(8.5), L(7.5), W(6.0) , S(6.5) = 7.0 Overall
My wife score: R(7.0), L(7.5), W(6.0) , S(6.5) = 6.5 Overall

Is this your wife's NOC too ? Because it's the principal applicant's NOC that matters.

2174 is on the in-demand list for Nova Scotia PNP.

IELTS - CLB9 - will push your wife's score to 470.

W-7, S-7 ..rest is fine.
