People who have in between 500 and 735 points

I'm one of them, got a bit over 500 points.
BTW there's a spreadsheet and lots of folks from here have filled it in, take a look: http://tinyurl.com/mwstg52.
 
I just got my LMIA, so I have 782, applying under CEC.

What do you need to be doing to get an LMIA? In my opinion, any Canadian can do ANY job! Lol.

Not the skilled trades though! There is a shortage of manpower in skilled trades.
 
^^ But isn't one of the caveats also about training Canadians? Surely a Canadian can be trained to do the trade.

Jobs that require professionals to be bilingual or trilingual are just one example.

Try training Canadians to speak several languages with a level of fluency that is needed for certain jobs. It's tough to even get them to speak both their official languages, English and French. Canadian-born people of foreign descent won't have near the same level of fluency as people raised in foreign countries.

Immaterial the only language requirements allowed for a LMIA are either English/French or both.

LMIAs are issued whenever a foreigner has a very specific set of skills that Canadians don't have. Language fluency in a language other than English or French or in both English or French for a profession that requires it could be one such skill.
