Yes, that's true. Do you feel there is any other way to increase scores or maybe get a PNP nomination even when I don't have any ties in Canada or previous educational background from the country ? My younger brother is based out of Sudbury (Ontario), pursuing his higher studies. But apart from that I have no one !

P.S: I am stuck at 466 ! With an 8 in IELTS (L:8.5, R: 8.5, W: 7 and S:8) and my Husband Score is 7 in IELTS (L:7, R:6.5, W:6.5, S:7)

Was in the same spot last year. Try out SINP as there is a lot of action going on there. If your application is very clear they seem to process nominations faster off late. I got a nomination in 2 months time and an ITA this draw.

Can you let me know what documents you submitted as your employment reference letter in SINP? I got an invite from SINP and just collecting documents.

Any reason why there is a delay in the draw? When can we expect it?

My CRS score is 516.

Hi, your CRS score is quite impressive. I hope you will receive your ITA soon and immigrate to Canada. Draws usually take place twice in a month.

Cheers,

Does SINP consider the CRS score or its own score?

Mine is 64, which is quite low...

SINP has their own points grid. The prevailing cut off is 69 for SINP.

It doesn’t say that anywhere under Ministerial Instruction. All it says is that the recalculated score needs to meet the cut-off criteria at the time the ITA was issued. I’d recommend you read the Ministerial Instructions carefully and then do the right thing.
You do need to be mindful that not being added as an accompanying spouse only to boost your scores (is unacceptable) and can call for a valid justification under the procedural fairness guidelines.

Don't do that. Tie breaking rule would apply and your application will be refused. With 473 score together I'd recommend she declines the ITA. Add you to her profile (assuming you are married). With 473 you will get ITA in next round for sure.

It’s not a game , I m on 468 , and I would have liked to do the same , I have already got ITA( without spouse 475) . Whatever u have declared prior to your ITA, u got to follow it , as ur scores have been freezed now , u cnt do anything about that . Your spouse has to go alone if u dnt want to face any sort of ban
