Hi Guys,

My score is 473 and I have studied and worked in Ontario since I have been in Canada. Please tell me what should I select in Express Entry Profile question - "Provinces and Territories you consider living in ?"

Since Ontario PNP is closed, I am still hopeful like everyone else that if the gates open, I might be selected from Express Entry pool directly.

If I select all the provinces , then why would a province select me (as it may seem that I am not stable in my selection & not a good candidate as I am willing to move to any province for the sake of getting a nomination [especially if Ontario PNP opens and I have all the provinces selected])?

What would be the most favorable selection that I should do for this section in the profile as of now?

This isn't the thread to ask this. Please ask somewhere more appropriate.

You should choose all province else you will lose your chances for EE direct. I choose all and got Ontario PNP, they dont look for who have only selected Ontario, why one would unless there are some relative for which a person is claiming points...

Can you please clarify what do you meant by "loose your chances for EE direct"?? Only Ontario and BC are the two provinces which select the candidates directly from the EE pool. But why would Ontario give PNP to a candidate who has studied and worked in BC??

I dont think so anyone who studied and worked in BC has got PNP from Ontario.

So, thats what I am saying that there must be a criteria on which they select candidates??

I'm in a situation similar to yours. although there will be no big difference between CLB 8 and 9 point wise, you will have to take it anyway as it will get expired. Try to nail the reading though, as far as I remember it provides the highest score.

Kindly note that there is huge difference between CLB8 and CLB 9 scores in IELTS. CLB 9 can fetch you 25+25+8=58 points more than your existing CRS Points with CLB 8 scores.

Recommend you to appear for IELTS and score CLB 9 scores. This will shoot your CRS score by a lot of points and probably fetch you a direct ITA through rounds of invitation. All the best.

Hey, I am CLB 9. Missed the CLB by just 0.5 in listening. Have two questions:-

1) How much points more we can get in CRS if I had CLB10 instead of CLB 9?
2) Is CLB 10 the highest for language scores that affect CRS?

Not much difference in CRS points when you get CLB 10 over CLB 9

2) Is CLB 10 the highest for language scores that affect CRS?
CLB 9 is the highest which fetches you max. points for skills transfer section.
What band did you score in Listening?? If you have scored L 8, R 7, S 7, W 7 then you already have CLB 9 equivalent scores.

1)As I remember it was around 6 more points with clb10 vs clb9, you can check in the crs calculator.
2)Yes clb10 is the highest for language scores.

Unlikely in the medium term. Try and increase your score where possible, even getting it to the higher 460s would make a difference.
