Hi Experts,

Just have a query. I was doing evaluation on the CRS calculator tool. I am software engineer from India and have masters degree. Age 33. After evaluation my CRS was round about 367 which i know very less. I'll accompany with my wife, she also holds masters degree.

IELTS SELF - L7 R7 W6.5 S6.5 IELTS Spouse - L6 R6 W6 S6

But when I updated this with LMIA (Under Global Talent Stream) + 1 year Canadian experience, it increased to 502. Is this right calculation from my side?

Thanks for your help,

Increase your IELTS score to LRWS as 8777 and your score will increase significantly ( around 440)

You need to improve your IELTS scores to at least 8 L and 7 rest. Also, make sure you get your education evaluated. Masters degrees from India may not be equivalent to Canadian Masters.

LMIA and Canadian experience will of course increase your score a lot. But LMIA is very difficult to get.

Hi,

By the way do you have knowledge, If I will get LMIA along with 2 year closed work permit, then after 1 year, shall I be able to add LMIA + Canadian experience score in my EE profile. Say 50 + 70 approx.
