Lost 10 points between last draw and today's draw because of my birthday (I'm 41) and with that my score reduced to 393 from 403. No point in increasing my IELTS as it gets me a max of 399 CRS. I, now, lost the opportunity for OINP. With LMIA jobs becoming impossible for 2174, I have no choices left.
I'm thinking of changing my profile as "Non accompanying spouse" because that puts my score at 405 and gives me another opportunity for one more year. But, I read its troublesome to get spouse PR done later. Has anyone gone through this and was able to get things done successfully without much hassle? Any info on this will be much appreciated.
