Help me please. My goal is to get to Canada through the fastest way possible.

About Me
  • I'm an undergrad student from Egypt (20M).
  • I graduate with a 4-year Bachelor's degree in IT in December 2020.
  • I plan on working in a tech-related NOC A/B occupation for 1 year after graduation so that I can qualify for the FSW program (thereby satisfying the 1 year of continuous work requirement).
  • I took the IELETS a year ago and got the highest possible points in each category, and will most likely do so again in 2 years time
  • Never been to Canada and have no ties to Canada

What ISN'T possible for me
  • with 1 year of job experience and only a bachelor's degree, getting a job offer would be out of the question since a canadian employer wouldn't bother hiring someone with just 1 year of experience
  • i can't do a master's as it is costly for me and i'd rather save that money for the proof of funds requirement
CRS score scenarios
  • If I were to learn french in 2.5 years and get
    • a CLB 7 or 8 on the TEF Exam -> my CRS score would be 458
    • a CLB 9+ -> my CRS score would be 470
  • If I dont learn french, I would have a CRS score of 416

So you might be wondering, why not learn french then?

-Well, because getting to a B2-C1 level is pretty difficult (I'd presume), so I'm not entirely sure I'd be able to do it in 2.5 years.


QUESTIONS
Knowing my information:
  • Is it realisitic to get to a C1 level in 2.5 years? Or should i look for a PNP stream instead?
  • Suggest me some streams that would nominate someone with a score of 416 please
 
You are 20. You have time.

Why don’t you work for 3 years and at the same time get a post graduate diploma?

When I was your age, I asked my cousin (living in Canada) about my chances in Canada... she told me to get work experience, because when you get there, employers are likely to ask you “What do you have to contribute to our workplace?”

Unless you’re super smart and super accomplished at 20, you’ve sold your company or built a super computer from scratch, there are life considerations bigger than age.

3 years will be quick if you keep busy.

Take note, it’s not a masters I’m suggesting but just a post-graduate diploma. Find the cost-efficient option.
Good luck.
