Low score in CRS

[vivek_vk_8]

Hello,
As I am unmarried, my CRS score is low - 333 and less to get invited for an ITA. IELTS score - CLB8, Even if I attempt the exam again and score the maximum, CLB9, my score would increase to 365. So may I know what are the other ways to increase the score to more than 400. I was informed that getting a job offer is difficult without an ITA. Can I apply for other provinces under the EE once the provinces start their draw or is it a separate process. I have checked that the requirement for some of the provinces is to get a job offer in hand to apply. I have 11 years of experience as SAP Consultant\Specialist and feel that the invitation for ITA should be more on terms of the experience rather than just relying on the IELTS score and other parameters. Please share your inputs if I can apply under any other programs now.

Thanks,
Vivek

You have 4 options (post improving your IELTS score):

1. Get a PNP
2. Get a job from an employer there (this is a little difficult option under the current circumstances)
3. Get your current company to transfer you to its Canada office
4. Get a Masters Degree from an approved WES institution

HTH!

You don't have to be married to get a high score. In fact your score will reduce further and it will have to be compensated by getting spouse's ECA and ielts.

I would recommend doing a 1 yr post grad course from a wes recognised institute. It can be a distance program. You will be able to claim points for masters or two or more degrees depending on the course you pursue. Simultaneously improve your IELTS to CLB 9 or 10.

PNP could also be an option... you will have to read about each PNP and see if you are eligible.
