Please Help - What are my options of getting PR

[ruka]

Hi friends,

I am able to score 72 points for the current FSW
Points break down - Age(41 yrs) - 10, Degree - 20, Experience - 21, English Language - 16, Relative in
Canada - 5

This is above 67 so I qualify to apply.

But When I do the math on CRs points, I get only 391
The break down is
Human factors
Age - 35
Education 126
English Lang - 128

Partner factors
partner education - 2

skill Transaferability factors
Education - 50
Work Experience - 50

This sums up to 391 and this is no where near the current CRs cut off of 430.
So I hardly have any chances of getting an invite if I apply.

It's wiered that some one with a score of 72 points not getting any where close to the current CRs cut-off.
Have I done any mistake in getting my CRs points calculated ? Why is it so ?

Is there any other options apart from this FSW category, I would get any chance to get the PR ?
I am a software Engineer.

Your assistance is highly appreciated.

Thanks

If you are unsure of your CRS score calculation, use this tool - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp

Also you have mentioned 5 points for relatives in FSW scale (out of 100). Note that the 'relative' has to be a sibling, and not just any relative. In that case, you will receive additional 15 point in CRS scale.

I think the age factor has highly affected your overall score. Other option I would look at is to get a Provincial Nomination. Not sure how it works, but have heard people getting through it.

Goodluck!
