For express entry score 445 is enough?

[Piyush5767]

From here I am want to ask from all experts, Is the score 445 is enough or I have to wait 1 year more which add 1 more year in my experience which jumps my score to 458 or I have to apply for LMIA so to get 495 scores.

Lets breakdown my score: IELTS 7 overall(L:7, R:7.5, S:7 and W:6), I don't want to give IELTS again

Canadian Experience: 1 year
Education: Bachelors + 2 year Post Graduation From Canada

I also have about 2-3 years of experience of self-employed from India, which I used during I am applying for a student visa. But I will show that experience but don't claim points for that, because unable to get reference letters from clients whereas I have all projects + tax statements + bank statements but I also need reference letters from clients(that is my freelancer experience)

So, what is your suggestions is there any chance of score drop I know in January score drops to 438 but no one knows what happens.

Also, another question is If I don't want to claim the points of my 2-3 years of experience do I have to include this experience in experience section or I have to include this one in any other section, so I need to mention this experience while creating profile or during the time of submitting documents(after getting invitation).

I also heard about Ontario PNP can I also apply in that, if yes then what is the process. and the last question,
while we are creating a profile in express entry do I have to mention each of my education (for example 10th, 12th) or only Bachelors and Post Graduation

At the moment, no not enough, and don't expect it to fall under 440 any time soon.
The EASIEST way to boost your score, whether you like it or not, is retake IELTS.

You don't need to list work experiences you are not claiming points for in work history section. Post ITA you'll need to mention it in personal history section of the application form. No document needed.

OINP sends out invitations from time to time to candidates in EE pool. You can't apply without an invitation.

Thanks for your response, so you want to say I have to mention it only after receiving ITA and there is a personal section over there? where I have to mention it or I have to upload a letter explaining about my freelancer experience for whom I don't want to claim points.

Also, what about the wait for next year then my score jumps to 458, do you think that is a good idea and what about LMIA if my employer wants to give me that, did that is also fine?

I also want to know about the information needs to add while creating express entry profile for example In express entry do I have to mention each of my education (for example 10th, 12th, Bachelor and PGDCA) or only Bachelors and Post Graduation?

If you wait a year and/or get an LMIA you will be in a much better position. Just wait for that if you don't want to retake the IELTS.

In Education History, you only mention the education you are getting points for. The rest of your education goes in Personal History.
