Hello people, I am looking to apply under EE. I just myself CRS done now, and I scored 355 in total. Is this enough to go ahead with the application or I should just forget it? Which other option is open to me now if EE is not possible. I have taken my IELTS and I am awaiting my result. I am a lawyer with a master's degree in law, I have over 10years work experience in legal as well as administrative job. Please I need your honest advice here. Thank you all
How have you calculated your score if you haven't got your IELTS results yet ? They are essential to the process.
355 is not high enough to get an ITA at the moment. The required score is predicted to drop in the future, but no one knows when or by how much.
So your options are to either increase your score (by getting better IELTS results, for example), or to get a provincial nomination.
Your other option is to wait, keep an eye on the draws, and apply if the CRS ever drops low enough.
There is no other option to get permanent residency. But you could try to get a working visa, then apply for EE in a few years under CEC.
