In which category shall I apply for immigration

[ritvikrc]

Hi,
I am a software engineer with around 2.5 yrs of industry experience from India. I want to immigrate to Canada, and look for a job there. I appeared for IELTS in January this year and scored an overall 7 band(reading, listening -7.5; writing, speaking - 6.5). I wanted to know what all entries I am eligible to apply for and which one should I prefer.

Also, My uncle ( Grandparent's child) and his wife holds canadian citizenship, and they live with their son (dependant child) who is an Indian citizen. Can they help me with family sponsorship?

Your uncle cannot sponsor you but you get eligibility points. Look at Express Entry and see if eligible. You need ECA for your degree.

Is express entry my only option? What about federal skilled worker program?

The FSW is one stream of Express Entry. So see if you are eligible under the EE-FSW program. You need IELTS and ECA. From there look at PNP programs.

Likely don’t qualify without more work hours, a second degree and a stronger IELTS score.
