EE Applicants with score 400 to 450 let's connect here

[Pawshi]

Thank you Raj for your guidance. I counting on OINP. God knows, when they will re-open the window.

Okay, I am not aware of the nuances of processing speeds of SINP but on a high level, they take anywhere from 2 - 4 (sometimes more) months from date of application to issue nomination. I am not sure why October applicants are getting nominated quickly - You might want to post the question on the relevant SINP thread and seek an explanation.

Can you guys shed some light on SINP, please?
As far as I know, only PEI PNP is the easiest to apply, not sure if its easy to get. All other PNPs require either job offer or a connection to that state/ province.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I have applied for PEI PNP but their 2016 intake is closed, hopefully they'll consider my EOI for 2017 nominations.
I don't have a job offer, I don't have a connection to anyother province other than Alberta.
Can you guys help/ recommend me any other PNP?

This was posted in good conscience and NOT to demotivate anybody. Wish everyone good luck and all the very best!

Yeah I agree, 470 seems to be the baseline and if it goes lower it will be only a few points, no more...

That's why I'm hoping for this new changes to come in place as fast as possible, I will take 30 points from the Canadian education experience, and so my score will be 483...kinda hopeful, right?

Hi Folks,

First off, I wanted to say that I think this is a great community for those within the global community who are looking to relocate to Canada. The show of support and understanding for members of a diversity of backgrounds and cultures is absolutely consistent with Canadian values. I wish you all luck in your applications.


Now - the reason that I'm posting is that my fiancee is currently in the EE stream and has been for the past year and a half with no progress. I'm curious how we think the cutoff figures will be influenced by the recent changes to EE. My fiancee is Ukrainian and moved to Canada after high-school to do her post-secondary studies here. Unfortunately she had some bad guidance and ended up at a college and not a university, but she nonetheless completed her education here. With an IELTS score of 8 overall, she gets most of the points from that category, and having worked for the 2.5 years (thus far) of her post-graduate work permit, she ends up with a score of 441 under the old system, and 459 under the new system. Any sense of whether or not this will materially change her chances?

Are there any suggestions for other ways to improve this? She can eke out 3 more points if she gets a perfect IELTS, but everything else seems dependent on experience, education, or a spouse. As none of those are factors she can influence at the moment (aside from time perhaps), are there other options? Given that the PGWP cannot be extended, the other question is whether or not there is a simple work visa for someone who has lived in Canada for the better part of the past 5 years and has clearly established her young life here?

For context, I've tried to get her a role in the professional services firm that I work at, but it is challenging given that there is a strong bias against college graduates (more's the pity).

Appreciate any comments.

I believe the PNP for Human capital in Ontario is suspended at the moment.

 

[holbond]

the validity of 90 days will be applicable to yesterday's draw or only draws after November 19th ?

validity of 90 days -- what's that?

After the next draw. All those who recd ITA before 19th will be processed in accordance with old Ministerial Instructions.

 

[skantzidis]

I believe holbond is referring to the amount of time that you would have to complete and submit your application if you were to receive an ITA. Those candidates that received ITA prior to the 19th will have only 60 days to submit. Those receiving ITA after 19th will have 90 days to submit.

Oh wow. I didnt know this. Thanks !

But the thing is no one utilize even the 60 full days. making it 90 will add on nothing.

Everyone knows now you just have to put a proof of applied thing and you can submit.
