Hope is not a strategy!
After the nice low score of 413 last year, the number of hopefuls increased along with the things that happened in the US - too many ppl are applying (yes you and me included)
The regular ROH series threads are great to hang around and dream for the score to come down. While it will be great when it happens, we who are at the edge or the boundary need to strategize differently.
This thread is for those at 430-437 who want to take matters into their own hands and start to look at real ways to make a difference, network and share ideas instead of waiting for the score to drop
I realize that many ppl in this club will be in the pool for a year. This will give us our own space instead of the guys sitting at 439-441 who are just preparing their PCCs and medicals
Strategy no
- Have right NOC code for OINP HCP
- Learn French
- Try to get job offer with LMIA
- Try to get job offer from Canadian arm of your company. No LMIA required then to get work permit for a year as your company applies to CIC for the transfer. After the first year if they want to continue with another job offer for a year you get the 50 points. It's called intra company transfer category.
- PNP for other provinces?
- Atlantic Immigration Pilot Program
- SINP
- BC EE
- Australia - its easier nowadays than Canada - they have own point based system and accept IELTS!
- Drop spouse from application and sponsor after landing (for some cases)
- Add spouse (marry - Canadian spouse or one with Canadian education/experience and get additional points)
- Distance learning which will take at least 1 year to pass (Post Grad Diploma/MBA/Masters etc.)
- Attending full time Masters etc. in home country for additional points.
- Take IELTS AC & enter Canada with a Student visa / Hit a Canadian University - which upon completion would get a PGWP and then certainly ensure PR after a time
- Certain nationalities - you can try to go for Working holiday in Canada (that can be the way how to qualify for some provinces)
