hi.we need some advise. ??? ???.me and my husband apply for express entry last august 2015..we already passed all the requirements like WES(ECA) and Ielts..and we already have our EE Profile..we only have 358points, but the latest draw was 468points..we asked our agency if theres any thing we can do to increase our points..we are worried because our application will expire on august 2016..our agency said that we need employer to help us..how can we do that?
What were your IELTS scores? You should retake the test, and see if you can score an 8 or higher in all bands. IELTS scores can greatly maximize your total possible CRS.
How much working experience do you have? What is your highest education credential? Maybe attempt to make another profile by switching the primary applicant on it (i.e. if you were the primary applicant on this profile, maybe make your husband the primary applicant on your next one, and see if that changes the scores you get).
Try all of this. But definitely retake the IELTS, and aim for a higher score.
On a related note, I would ditch the agency- they are almost never any help, and they are a money sink. Any function that they could perform can and will be performed by this forum better, and for free.
