I'm currently in the express entry pool but my score is 474 which is way below the minimum cut-off. The only reason I submitted was to be in the pool in case something new came up. I'm below the age of 30, have the maximum score for English and don't know French. I got my undergraduate degree here in Canada with one year of working experience in a field not related to my degree and I'm currently working part-time as a research assistant in a research lab for the past 4 months. My major was biology so this new job is related to my degree. I live in Alberta but I can't apply for Alberta opportunity stream (currently paused) because even if I get the equivalent of 6 months of working experience from my part-time job I don't have a job offer for minimum 12 months and I don't think I can get that. my noc code doesn't fall under Alberta tech pathway because I work in University and the noc code is not the same as the one for biologist technician so I'm currently out of options. I have one year left on my PGWP and still no PR pathway to apply for. I wanted to discuss it here to see if anyone has any suggestions or recommendations for me I thought about moving to a different province like BC but I applied for jobs there for almost a year and never heard back but I'm open to any suggestions this PR problem is really becoming a nightmare for me. I appreciate your ideas in advance!

Learn French if you have a year.

I have one year left on my PGWP and still no PR pathway to apply for. I am surprised that you had such a specialty. I have never met anyone in my life who liked this subject. Everyone around me said that it was difficult and confusing. When I was in university, there were many people who had a hard time with complex concepts, and no one discussed biology with enthusiasm. Most were just trying to survive the course. In university, I had problems understanding many topics in biology. It was often difficult to remember complex processes and terms. But biology problem solver helped me, I used https://edubrain.ai/biology-problem-solver/ for this. I often felt that I could not cope with the amount of material. Lab work was also difficult. Sometimes it was not possible to combine theory and practice. Exams were especially difficult. Despite all the difficulties, I continued to study and tried not to give up.

Biology? Biology has always been a difficult subject for me.
