CRS 389 points (estimated), i believe PNP is only option, but is it possible?

[Vannie]

Hi,
I read a lot on various websites and various Quora posts, but still not able to decide between which country should i choose for my PR Application, AUStralia or CAnada ?
Basically i am an IT Professional with 10yrs experience, and spouse has 6+ yrs IT Experience.
My estimation is i can get around 65 points for Australia with positive Skill Assessemt and 7 in IELTS .
My Canada Express Entry CRS Score, assuming 7 Band in IELTS is coming close to 390 only, which i believe is too less and eventually i will have to apply for PNP and wait. I do not know the success chances in PNP.

But i noticed (from searching for IT keywords relevant to me on (Seek & Indeed.com) for AU and Canada, that Number of jobs are 3–4 times more in Canada, as compared to AUS. I have listed it below:
Tableau Jobs in - Canada -874 In Australia-238
Cognos Jobs in - Canada 462 In Australia-72
CSM Jobs in -Canada 172, In Australia-51
Scrum Jobs in -Canada 2348, In Australia-632
QA IT Jobs in -Canada 1289, In Australia-279
.NET Jobs in -Canada 5838, In Australia-2363
C# Jobs in -Canada 3612, In Australia-1207
So i am literally confused, as to which country PR should i apply for, purely from perspective of securing a good IT Job & having a good life.

Your Expert Suggestions/Guidance please

Thanks and Regards !!

Saskatchewan PNP called SINP is a good option for you. NOC 2171 is suitable. They need only 60 points out of 100 I their point assessment grid. They don't have any interest in CRS points, only check CIC EE pool registration. Their fix date of Intake opening is 2 January.

Hi I was in a similar issue because of my age, but the nominee program allows you entry if you have a job offer from a skilled job if the companies follows the province own programs. It certainly worked for and although they advertised the job (I work in the technology sector) and showed evidence that they tried to recruit locally they did not need an LMIA. this then allowed me to enter Canada on a temporary work visa while my application is being processed for PR.

The way I got an employer to sponsor me was to, but as much effort as possible making companies aware that I was wanting to relocate to Canada. the resource that I used was Linkedin. I simply looked at companies of the province that we wanted to move to and sorted by sector in my case technology companies and send an email to the appropriate personnel within that company with a cover letter email and CV.

Thanks Ashu & John for giving some idea.
But i also wish to understand that which country has more jobs/ more chances of getting IT job ?
As shared in my original email, my counts from jobsites says that Canada has 3-4 times IT jobs (with relevant skillset).
I dont know if i choose Aus or CA
