Hi, I'm playing around with the CRS calculator to see what options/criteria my brother in law needs to qualify for a draw from the Express Entry pool (recent lowest ranked score was 462?)
Anyway... I have a few questions...
1. How come the foreign work experience (3 years or more) didn’t give him any points unless he have at least 1 year of Canadian work experience? He's been working full time in his field in Hong Kong for the last 3.5 years.
2. A valid job offer, it seems to me that it’s just not any job that my brother find corresponding to his job classification. It seemed to me the criteria is a job offer with an employer willing go thru the LMIA process to count for that extra 50 CRS points? My brother can get hired in many of the jobs under his job classification… but getting the LMIA will be very challenging as most of the positions he will be applying for will be junior positions.
