CRS of 64 - would love some help on easiest way to boost my score please!

[Ohmydayz]

Hi there,

So I'm looking to enter via Express Entry and currently I'm scoring 64 as per the below:

Language: 32
Education: 5
Work Experience: 15
Age: 12

Total: 64

My original plan was to enter via a 2 year working holiday visa on my Italian passport, then once I had work experience (Class A) for 12 months in Canada to apply for Express Entry using the 5 points that this would provide. Is this a viable plan? Or would I be better off attempting to get sponsored for employment and therefore express entry before entering the country?

Many thanks!

I'm guessing this is your score for a provincial nominee. CRS is based on 1,000 points, if I remember correctly. You can calculate yours here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

Or perhaps on the FSW scoring? Assume this means OP has points for both French and English.

OP, if you have a spouse, they can take the IELTS for 5 additional points.

Hi there, I calculated the points from dub dub dub dot cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp
I don't speak French I'm afraid..

Technically it's a viable plan. However whether you're actually selected under Express Entry or not will depend on the number of CRS points you have out of 1,000. So far only those with 450 or more points have been selected. Recently no one with fewer than 480 points has been chosen.
