Guys, my individual CRS is 472 (29yr old, masters with 3yrs experience, IELTS, 8877(RLWS). However I'm married. My wife has diploma n degree(two or more degrees).. so, after a lot of persuasion answered IELTS and scored 6.5, 7.5, 7, 6. (RLWS).
now our combined score comes to 468 which I thought would be enough but last 6 months the cutoff has not touched it. we waited bit too long I guess to act up n finally decided that she need to appear for IELTS again this March 21st, whose results will be out by 5th April.(so missing the draw on 1st April) if she scores 7877 (CLB band 9), our score jumps to 474...
even if everything goes as expected, we get just one draw to apply on 18th April. after that I turn 30 n loose 5 points effectively settling for 469 again.
even worst is, April has 3 Wednesdays. as per the history of draws, whenever there are 3 Wednesdays in a month, one of them will be FST draw.
If I apply as an individual, I might possibly get an ITA next draw but her individual score will be 462 ( assuming she scores 7877).
I know that I can sponsor her after I complete 1 year in Canada but leaving her behind for 1 yr is not an option for me... Is there any way I can apply as an individual n take her along??(maybe on tourist visa?)
is there any possible way we can crack the system?? WHAT SHOULD I DO IN APRIL?? TAKE THAT ONE SHOT ON 18TH AS COUPLE OR APPLY AS AN INDIVIDUAL BEFORE THAT N GET THROUGH N SOMEHOW GET MY WIFE ALONG (IF I CAN, HOW??)!!!
