Engineer with 13 years of work Exp (6 years in US,1 year in UK) - IELTS 7.5

[Rink_US]

Hi All,

I am planning to apply for Canada PR via express entry. I needed some guidance on below:

- My IELTS score is 7.5 (R = 7.5, L = 6.5, S = 8.5, W = 7.5)
- I have Bachelors in engineering degree (Electrical)
- No canadian work exp. or study
- OVerall score when i used CIC calculator was 335

Can/should i apply with this score?
Does applying via PR consultants help in any way?
What are options to increase my score before i create my express entry profile?
What is the best way to get a job offer?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks!!

No harm to create a profile.

Use the calculator again and see what points you could get if your listening was 8.0. Very likely you need to improve your listening.
