Do I have a chance with 461

[pallabhazarika]

Hi,
My first post here, so hoping to get some practical advise from the experts.
When I checked the comprehensive point system and calculated points for me and my spouse, the total point came to be 461. I saw the latest scores are often over 470. Do you think I should even try further? We both have IELTS scores of 8.0.
Note that if I keep myself as primary applicant, the score comes to be 439. Only I have a tech background with the NOC code of 0213. Do I have a chance in any of the PNP program?

It's worth putting yourself into the express entry pool. With 461 the chances aren't high of getting selected but you are only 10 or so points below what you need.

Nobody can properly predict what's going to happen but I would definitely start researching PNP programs for those extra points.

Go through the website of each province and check if you are eligible. Some pnps you can apply to separately and others might just select you out of the EE pool.
