It is not clear what comes under strategic initiative. In the site, there is no update about recruitment campaign happened outside Canada since October 2019. Yet, they issues LAAs in every draw for Skilled Workers Overseas under Strategic Recruitment Initiative.
My situation is like this, I have over 60 points to submit an EOI. However for ranking, I can only get maximum 425 points including friend connection 50. Even if one gets maximum points for all other factors he could only reach 550 with friend connection and lowest rank getting invite always stays around 700. I am unable to find any other pathway as I do not have sufficient points to create an Express Entry. Human Capital Pathway could be possible as my occupation is in demand list, but it seems not opened yet.
I would appreciate it if you could kindly advise.
