Help! Which PR category should I apply for?

[annefranke18]

Hello All,

I am an accountant in India working for past 4 years in private sector. I have B.COM and doing post graduate distance learning degree in Accounting. I want to apply for Canadian PR, but I am not sure which category I fall into? I want to move to Canada to Work / Study and settle down in Canada eventually. Can someone tell me which categories I qualify for?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! I did fill out the questionnaire. It says I may be eligible under Express Entry. I want to know what are the chances of getting PR? I am from India and people who got PR are from engineering background. Since I am an accountant, do I have a chance? What are key things Canadian Immigration looks at for PR?

Based on your question, you need to do more research to understand how Canada's immigration programs work. Express Entry is a points-based system. Those with the most points are selected. Right now you must have 440+ points to be selected out of the pool.

Where can I check how many points I have now?

Use the link scylla gave you and make an educated guess on your IELTS scores and education equivalency. The tool will mark you as not eligible if you say you do not have an IELTS or ECA yet.

I took the test, I am unmarried and do not work or study in Canada. My score came as 381, I guess that is not enough? How can I improve my profile?

What are your IELTS points for Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking ?

What are your IELTS points for Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking ?

I just guessed the scores:
Speaking 6.5
Listening 7.5
Reading 6.5
Writing 6

I just guessed the scores:
Speaking 6.5
Listening 7.5
Reading 6.5
Writing 6

I would say there can be some major room for improvement here...
Max points you can get for language score is 136 (W/o Spouse) and 128(W Spouse)...

 

[annefranke18]

That makes only 12 points difference. Was 440+ the cut off for applying?

Thank you for links! I have post graduate degree + 4 years experience. But even with high ILETS score I don't reach 440. I guess I either need job in Canada ( very difficult) or Province nomination?
