I guess no one. But doing TEF will get you the opportunity to get selected under PNP Programs in Ontario for french speaking Skilled immigrants. You can check Ontario website for this. So Try doing TEF it is Obviously worth it if it can raise the overall score. Or if you have only a Bachelor degree, Try completing a one year Diploma from a recognised institution. You can get selected to "two or more qualifications" and raise your CRS Score.
Hello everybody, I just signed up. I truly am a newbie here
I am 34 years old degree(SLIIT) holder with 7+ working experience. My CRS total is 426 as per a crs online tool.
(http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp)
1. Is the tool accurate (approximately)? Has anyone here used it before ?
I just need to self evaluate before I start with entry process
2. Is Sun Certificate (SCJP) valid/considered as a certificate? Can I pick "Two or more certificates ..." option for level of education?
3. Can you please suggest any short term certificate I can complete within 1 year which has successfully considered for CRS? IT or project management would be better
Thank you in advance.

Tool is accurate. adont mean to demotivate you but 426 chances are less. Try to improve your score.
Yes CRS score is accurate. I agree with the above, since your age is 34 you cant make it to the tier breaking score unless you have an MBA or 2 or more post-secondary qualifications. If your IELTS scores meet the criteria, try improving your educational backround. You can try any diploma of one year from NIBM. But before that calculate your score with the same and exact age when you complete it. If the certificate you mentioned is a one year programme please try sending that for ECA as well.

Hi heshan, going through the thread I got to know that you are a QA engineer same as myself.
Could you give me some tips on improving CRS score? Sitting on IELTS this month. Hypothetically speaking, with IELTS 7.5 I might score 442. If you don't mind I would like to know your score as well.
I am still on the edge deciding whether go forward with PRP, considering my age factor. I will be 34 by this May. At what stage they do calculate age? If it's 34 years and (n) months, will it be considered as 35?

The system automatically lock the details once you've got the invitation to apply. So, the same rule applies to the age factor as well. Until next year May, your age will be considered as 34.
To improve your CRS, first try to achieve 8,7,7,7 for IELTS with 8 for listening. Anything over and above will boost your CRS Score. If you have an MBA or an MSc that will also help to increase your CRS. Other than that, if you've a Canadian Diploma, Canadadian Work Experience or if you've a brother or sister lives in Canada, it will help you in improving CRS.
1. Yes, accurate. Check for below link for a detailed CRS Score.

2. Unfortunately not. SCJP is a professional qualification. Only academic qualifications are valid for CRS points calculation.
3. You can go for a one year Diploma in any field, whatever you like. Just you need to complete it which offered by a recognized institute.
As far as I think, if you can improve your IELTS score, you can definitely increase the chances of getting an invitation. It is really the deciding factor in Canada Immigration.
You are welcome buddy...Thanks for the wishes...Thank you very much @Heshan for taking the time and replying me. Great help!
Wishing you all the best for your new chapter!
