Need to increase CRS points but how?

[JoD75]

Hey guys,

Could any of you experts have a look at my stats and offer nay advice please?

I thought the option to give me enough points for EE would be a job offer but have been told that I am not likely to get an offer until I have PR.

My current CRS is:

Core/human capital factors Age: 25, Level of education: 112, Language: 122 = 259
Spouse factors: 2
Skills transferability: 50

Total = 311

I cannot take undertake French as a second language as it will take too long and is too difficult for me. I have two years left of my masters and that won't give me many extra points.

Any other options?

Many thanks,

Jo

1- Get CLB 9 in all IETLS sections.
2 - Get your spouse's educational credentials assessed and have him/her get CLB 9 in all IETLS section.
3 - Apply alone to improve your score and sponsor your spouse after you become a PR.

Spouse has no skilled work experience? How about language skills?

Thank you, I will look in to this. I have also looked at PNP's but found them to be a minefield.

Nope, he is reluctant to pay for the test and has only secondary school qualifications

328 score without my husband

With CLB 9 in all IETLS sections, 3 years of foreign work experience and having your spouse as non-accompanying your score should easily be above 400.

I only have 2 years in the specific NOC code that I want to apply with, I have lots of work experience but it is not all related, it's in different fields. Will they penalise me for this?

I only get it as 359 :/ I am 42 so this is going against me too

You can count that work experience for CRS points as long as it is skilled (NOC 0, A or B) even if it's not your primary NOC.

Edit: I thought you were 25 but I realize now that those are the points you get : P

Is he reluctant to move to Canada?

Secondary school qualifications does not necessarily exclude him from having skilled work experience. NOC level O, A or B jobs all count.

You probably need to give us more information that you're providing, as we can only make inferences based on what you've told us. I assume 100 of your points are coming from your age (25). From your language score, I can assume you got CLB 9 or more in all 4 language abilities, which would account for 25 of the 50 under skills transferability, so I assume the other 25 is from 1 - 2 years of foreign work experience...I therefore assume you also don't have Canadian work experience, a sibling residing in Canada, post-secondary education in Canada, or a valid arranged employment.

If the above assumptions are correct (and that's a big if ) you really only have a few options:

• Wait another year to get more years of experience - this will bump you up 25 more points (assuming the CRS Calculation matrix doesn't change before then); or you could wait 2 years and finish your Master's, then you'd max out skills transferability AND get 14 more points for Education (so 64 more points), but this still won't get you over the 400-point threshold let alone to current ITA cut-off scores...
  
• Get a provincial nomination (you don't have enough points for OINP, and I'm pretty sure it's currently on hold anyway, but there are other provinces that might be interested - what's your NOC?)
• Your "spouse points" seem a bit low (I assume the points are from a high school diploma credential...) Has he/she not taken IELTS/CELPIP? If he/she did, but got CLB 4 or lower, you could have him/her retake the test to see if you can get more points from this. He/she could also complete a 1-year educational programme to increase the spouse score in that way as well. Another option would be to apply as a single applicant (your score on your own should, overall, be higher) and then, if you get PR, apply for spouse sponsorship, although this can take 12 months and would require you being apart for that long or even slightly longer...

Provincial Nomination seems like your best bet...

Haha I wish I was 25, everything would be so much better everything!!

For your primary occupation, you must have at least one year of continuous, full-time work (or the part-time equivalent), but other than that, you can count all SKILLED work experience in the past 10 years (NOC O, A, or B).

Note that you will have to document all work experience that you claim for points (letters of reference etc.)

Erm a little, but we'll cross that bridge I am fully committed and obsessed about going. I can't see where they can give us extra points though when using the calculator?? He has lots of work experience. I just don't know where to put it in the equation if that makes sense?
Thank you.
