My CRS is 453, is it good enough? How do I increase it?

[sy.maaz]

Hello! I recently calculated my CRS via the tool, which came out to be 453. I also cleared IELTS with a decent 8.5 score, and have 3+ years of work-ex from India. I've done my bachelor's in business administration and I'm yet to do my master's.
Considering the latest draw has a score of 577, is there a fixed pattern that can tell me when I can expect the cut-off to drop as low as 452 to make me eligible?
Also, can someone highlight the fact that an executive MBA/MA in MassComm is recognized via WES to give me a 40-point boost?
Thanks in advance!

You should look forward to some 1 or 2 years post-graduate diploma program from a certified/licensed university, for quick results. If age isn't an issue then Master's program will be a better option.
If this is done and the educational program is evaluated successfully by the ECA bodies, you will get a boost of 33pts if it's a PG diploma and 40pts if it's a Master's degree.

You should expect Express Entry / FSW won't drop that low.

You'll either want to increase your score or look into the PNP programs.

Frankly, you don't stand a chance to get an Invite. Also, EE may be moving to NOC based draws early next year and looking at your info, I don't think your profession (MassComm) is demanding in Canada. I could be wrong about the demand, but check it out. If there is not demand, then you don't stand a chance for PNP programs as well. Better move to Canada as a Student. Because Canada "loves" giving PR's to students.

Thanks for the reply! Will being a student get me a decent amount of work visa tenure to extend my stay?

Thanks for your response! In your opinion, will I get a decent PNP opportunity, and how low can the cut-off go? My NOCs are 0214 and 5121, btw.

Do you think this will be enough to get an invite? Will the cut-off go as low as 480ish?

Who knows. They are only inviting a small number of people now and they may also flip to an occupation specific draw (in which case whether you are selected may highly depend on your occupation and if it's in demand). No one here can answer questions about the future.

For non-Canadian candidates, 470-480 is a pretty good score.

Whereas, Canadian candidates may usually have 500+ scores. So, if you're not having a Canadian Education/Experience you can't have a score of 500 or above.

I have no idea if have a chance of being selected through PNP. You'll need to dedicate time to researching the programs. NOC 5121 isn't in demand and I don't think that one is going to be of much help for a NOC-driven selection. I don't know about 0214.

Please do you research. You will know.

That’s weird. BA holders max at 441, unless you have a spouse with a decent ielts/degree, or a french score. Make sure you’re calculating your score right.
Regarding the score itself, everyone else has already said it.

 

[Trayceee]

My score is 453 also. Noc 3012. It is frustrating
