My CRS is 434 so far. Am I still eligible for the Express Entry?

I miscalculated my CRS before, now I thoroughly checked and used the tool. The points 434 now. I'd like to know if I'm eligible or not. I haven't got my WeS done.

Eligibility is 67 or more points using the grid assessment. If you have that then you are eligible to put in a profile. 434 will not get you an invitation to apply for PR. Scores are 468+.

Thanks @Naturgrl! I'm a bit curious about Wes processing. As the Indian university and American university from where I did B.tech and MS, they both are authorised under Wes list. So they can be counted as equivalent to Canadian BS and MS. So how many points would it add to the score of 434?

 

[Naturgrl]

You are counted for the highest degree so the masters. You have 434 now so what are you including for education? Redo CRS score with a masters.

 

[psahu1207]

I already entered Masters as my highest degree in outside Canadian education section. If I get my evaluation approved by the Wes, would it enhance my score?

No - it won't increase your score. You already claimed points for your Master's.

Thanks!

Thanks!

So what are the other ways through which I can raise my score? I did MS from the US, worked there for like 4 years and moved back to India. Also I've been working here for last 9 years. Besides this, I don't have anything more to include in order to raise my points.

Your age is most likely your issue. Assume you are over 30 so you lose 5 points every birthday. Don't know if you can improve your language score or learn French to a B2 level. Don't know your NOC so not sure of PNP programs.

If I go with my work exp in the US from 2008 to 2011 then my NoC code would be 2171 (IT Business Analyst/Consultant or else it could be 4163 (Business development personnel) as per my Indian work exp. Even though it's my own family firm but I've been actively leading all the responsibilities.

Your NOC doesn't change your score and your work experience has to be within the last 10 years.
