Express Entry has been extremely easy these days

[deerestlovelybear]

With lots of quota to meet, Express Entry cut off score has been lower and lower and now almost everyone apply will be selected. Everyone should be quick and let your friends know, Canada is taking everyone now and the window may close soon so please hurry. Everyone with some college education, some English and at least 1 year work experience will qualify for PR in Canada in 6 months time. Being a PR you have so much benefits, you can get free health care, housing subsidy, welfare, childcare tax credit, child benefits, free tuition to study whatever you want, 2nd career funding that pay for your living expenses while you study. It is worth more than the cost to apply for PR for sure so please do not miss the boat

This is great that the points are going down indeed, but I would rather say it is extremely easy for those who is already in Canada or had some connections with Canada ever before (study, relatives, visits, whatever). For those how is outside and doesn't have any connection with Canada - it is not so easy. A month ago I had the following situation:

- 29 years old (maximum points for age)
- evaluated PhD (maximum points for education)
- IELTS 8 7 6 6.5
- 2 years of confirmed work experience
- spouse: evaluated Master degree
- spouse: IELTS 8 7 6 7
========================
This results in 402 points

So for example, the young family of 2 people who basically reached the top of the tree in their education, decided to immigrate before 30 years, both experienced in NOC type A, both have decent English and accumulated enough funds by this age cannot get through the barrier. Even with 3 years of confirmed work experience they still would have 414, which is close but still not enough.

Suppose you are immigrating in your middle thirties (which is quite often I think) - and your points go far below 400 even if you are super-experienced. With the points below 400, you can forget about OINP. All the other PNPs require a job offer with LMIA which is impossible to get from outside of Canada, so you can forget about them too The rest of PNP (which don't require a job offer) require a connection with the province, which you don't have because you have never been there before.

"Super-experience" is overrated. Older people are less productive.

How did you go from 402 to 462?

Calculate without spouse, you will get even better. That's baggage buddy, everybody have to carry it (goes both ways) don't blame it on other factors. Admit that it's pretty easy to migrate to Canada nowadays.

How did you go from 402 to 462?

I retook IELTS and my score went from 412 to 472

 

[xpressentry]

Not true buddy. My wife and I have masters degrees and she has excellent language skills. My point alone were 471 and with my wife 472.

 

[student7872014]

I retook IELTS and my score went from 412 to 472

Makes sense. I actually just realized that s/he took IELTS twice.

Everything is true but if you don't have enough points but have good English skills, education, expirience and money, why you just do not move here and after a year apply for pr? After year in skill job will be so easy for you.

Calculated: without spouse I would have 400 instead of 402 ;D The formula is non-linear there, so its not like just +/- 40 points - try yourself if you don't believe me

yeah true, but how? just get a LMIA job offer? you can simply arrive as a tourist..

How did you go from 402 to 462?

That is why I retook the IELTS and got my 462, so we are going to Canada ;D

And this is great that IELTS can get you through the barrier nowadays, because just half a year ago with the cut off of 500+ points even that wouldn't help you. So half a year ago: maximum points for age, maximum points for English, maximum points for education, maximum points for overseas work experience, maximum points for spouse (or without spouse) wouldn't help you to immigrate to Canada. So EE was mostly a system for kind of "legalization" the status of people who has already immigrated to Canada and have inland experience/connection. I'm so glad that it is not the case now, but still considering all of that I wouldn't call it "extremely easy"

I am more than happy to do so just explain how I "just" move there and work legally
If it only was so easy ...

 

[pacificislander]

Well let's not forget that everyone has sufficient amount of proof of funds or can afford to pay the processing expenses along the way. There are challenges too. At this point I think it's easy to get there. But the real question is "how long can you stay there?"

You are right. people need to have some connection with canada, to claim enough points to get an ITA. It is pretty tough without it.

You are very much misguided..
