That's what I am asking. Why do you want to move from US to Canada? Usually its the other way.
Ahh ok the immigration policy sucks here. There are so many hoops to jump through before getting green card. Canada seems more welcoming.

For the fun,
Here is the break down of % importance of each section for sinlge applicant without any Canadian ties (Age, Language, Education, Work experience). Wherever is combination of 2 factors I have calculated them into both, so the result is more than 100%.
Technically a single candidate can get max. 520 points without any canadian ties.
Here is the basic table:

Max points Importance
Age 110 21,15%
Languages 160 30,77%
Education 150 28,85%
Language + education 50 9,62%
Language + work 50 9,62%
520 100,00%

But when you just check 4 basic factors you will get this:

Max points Importance
Age 110 21,15%
Languages 260 50,00%
Education 200 38,46%
Work 50 9,62%

Now here is the fun part. If you loose just 0,5 point on language testing you can loose 58 points on the spot, while being PhD with just 1 year of work experience (which can be part of your studies on university), you will only loose 25 points (which makes you still eligible for the current cut off).

What this importance table sais?
Languages are very important, studies are important, age is prefered, but work experience is not important.

Initially I thought you are an American citizen immigrating to Canada, but now it makes sense. I was in the same position. Need to be on h1b for a while before they process your green card.

I think if CIC continue making such big draws, the cut off will definitely come down, but I doubt it can reach 450 or even lower. Considering retaking IELTS... Anyways, it's a good news for everyone in the pool.

I just really hope they continue this trend. I'm scared of any CIC changes that might impact CRS.
