Wow, This is insane.

I still vividly remember April 2018 when I was applying for my study permit and had decided that later in the year I would put in my EE profile.

At that time the 601-1200 range had a handful of people (less than 50 i think) and the 451 - 600 range had about 150 or so people. There were just a lot less people in the pool itself. In one and a half years the pool has grown exponentially in each band.

I just visited the ROH thread out of curiosity.

I was at 453 last year when I got ITA for draws hovering at 440. People at 430s were crying tears.
The previous year people at 410s were crying tears when 420+ got ITAs.
It is quite unfortunate that threshold is 460+ now, when last year I thought my score at 453 was indestructible. For what I know the quality of people at 420s are not significantly better/worse than those at 460+ - It is just that the game has changed - Quite like market supply and demand.

During my time in 2018 it was paper based IELTS once a month and I blew tonnes of money and booked 6 months of IELTS slots for myself and spouse after the first time we failed. It was so much money that I could have a got a mid size sedan car with touchscreen music system - but I din't bat an eyelid when I spent the money. Even if I was mildly lackadaisical or stingy I would have missed the bus. Looks like in hindsight, If I was few months late in applying I would have been in tears now (at 453) and looking at ROH threads.

If you have changes to make in your life that will help you move towards the goal of ITA - like get the next degree or learn french or improve IELTS. Do that NOW! not a moment later. Also, consider the possibility of getting your spouse to do IELTS/degree/work. Don't give up.

Even for those who got ITAs, do not fool around and feel victorious. Do your due diligence and read the fine print. Review, Re-Review and Re-Re-Review your documents. Get a dispassionate person/friend to review it (I did it). Don't take shortcuts and try acting smart. You have only ONE SHOT.

Good luck. Feel free to dm me for any help or to review your docs.

i think you are absolutely right.. 460 is the new threshold and it will not come down to 450 in future. only way for it to come down would be if number of ITAs are increased from 3600 to 3900 which would help clear candidates with 460+ score in few draws and score will be down to 450s again.

Thanks so for your advise but the problem is I'm short of 10 months for 3 years experience. I have been freelancing quite a lot so trying to get some reference letters from clients. The problem is there is not much information out there to prove freelancing experience and the success cases. These are all clients based in UK and US.

I am also short of 3 years experience. I din't include my current work experience in work history because I could not find a matching NOC for my current job. So I had one job with 24 months and then I gave the documents of a name sake job I did after graduating. I was Expecting a CRS of 451 since i was 2 months short of 36 months/3 years, but once I filed all the documents, the system gave me 476. I know it hard with US and UK clients, even getting proper reference letter from EU companies are difficult sometime as the details required is against their laws. So, If you want, why don't you try to get a job and give IELTS another short.
I mean only if you are really interested. Personally I don't think you have hit a dead end or the road is closed for. Its up their for grabs if you want it

6221 is eligible. The Requirement is that in the last 10 years, you should have had atleast one job which was for continuous 1 whole year. If you satisfy this, all other work experiences can be added up.

Thanks man but looks like I will only have 55 points or so. Not sure how one can touch 60 with less experience or some tie to the province.

How many points do you gain for that?

None for certificate in IT

You need to do diploma with optional project to get the equivalent of a Canadian 2 year diploma

Or you can do all the 3 modules and the final project and get a Canadian 3 year degree equivalence from wes.

You can complete all those in 1.5 years. Not that hard. I did it when i was 17 years old
