Am I missing something?

[confused35]

Hello everyone,

I have just created my Express Entry Profile, my CRS score is around 350, going strictly by cutoff history it does not seem that this score is nearly enough to get an invitation. My IELTS score is already pretty high so the only sensible thing to do at this point is to try to get a job offer.

I am an IT professional, my goal would be to start applying and hopefully get an offer from one of the big IT guys.

Now, my question: how exactly is this supposed to work, let's say I get the job, which will maybe get my score high enough to qualify for an invite, then the whole PR wait will start.

Does the employer have to sit around and wait for my at least 6-month wait period while I get the PR approved? To be able to actually get there and start working? If this is the case, do employers actually do this? If not, do I come to Canada early somehow and start the job, while the PR is being approved?

Apologies for any obvious answer questions, I am new to all this and still working things out.

Thank you for reading.

Even if you secure a job, an arranged job it would give you 50 points. Then you would score 400 which is unlikely to be sufficient. Now you could improve your score by working 1 year or get the French language test.

It would be very difficult to get a job if you re not here. I am not sure employers would bet on you coming with travel restrictions.

The best option would be to get a job offer but a good friend of mine with 10 years experience in It could not get a job because now, employers won t be willing to give a job to a non Canadian because of travel restrictions.

Wish you the best though.
