Hi all, looking for some help... or maybe just reconfirm what I have found.
I am from the UK, and my profession is (writer).. aka advertising writer. I've doing this for the last 4 years. However, (as strange as it seems) I don't have a degree. I do have one year college certificate, for what its worth.
After completing the CRS tool here:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
(To my surprise) or maybe not really. My score is 368. Here it is below:

You see, I did do the same process under my wife, and slightly higher by 3 points (she is slightly younger and has a degree) But only 1 year experience in the fields they require. I feel because of my lack of a higher education is dragging my points.
Is this enough? From my understanding, its advised to aim for 400 (+)
Any thoughts team?
Thanks in-advance
