hi all,
I am a doctor from Oman doing my internship right now ( full-time, paid). I was wondering about those new changes. did the points change for each of the criteria for skilled workers ? I am going to be 26 years old by the time I apply this year and will have 1 year of experience as a doctor, and I got 7.5 in all IELTS modules. Moreover, am engaged and not getting any points from my partner, but my uncle will be a resident in canada by the time i apply. so how much points do I get from all of the above ? oh btw i dont speak french but am willing to learn to basic levels if i need more points.
Hi
The rules have not changed (as for Point allocation), The CAP per Job is 500 only, GP etc, will fill quickly. Next year what will be the Job list and rules, no one knows.
As for your Point Calculations
Education 20 points
Proficiency in English 16 points
Experience 15 points
Age 10 points
Arranged employment in Canada 0 points
Adaptability 5 points (Uncle, BUT he has to be in the list as mentioned by CIC and documents provided as needed)
Total 66 Points, Passing are 67.
Unfortunately you will not make it. Unless you marry and her points are included as well. BUT the Relative points are always tricky. Look for a thread by qorax on what it means to claim points for relative. As for learning French and then writing designated French language exam, is going to take time. CAP will be full by that time. OR you can aim for next year, and hope that the List and Rules dont change.
Try to take the Test here to see how many points you score.

my other question is, my fiancee is british and she can go canada without a visa. we are intending to start our own biz in canada , so can we do that before i do my immigration steps ? and seen as she is british, is it not easier for her to do it and get me into canada and then apply from there ?
all answers will be much appreciated.
If she is British, I will recommend you to move to UK, as UK is more doctor friendly with better opportunities. As for starting a Business when visiting Canada on a Temporary visit visa, I am not sure, but probably not would be the answer. Someone might answer it better.
