Standing at 417, independent contractor, need suggestions

[vvbbe]

So my CRS is only 417, I did my Master's in Canada and currently I am with my PGWP. I am working as an independent contractor for 1 year but looks like I can't claim the points as this is a self employment according to cic. My PGWP is going to be expired within 6 months. Hope of getting PR is looking bleak. I didn't get OINP as well, because within the last 5 yrs, I have only 6 months of work experience. Do you guys have any suggestions? Can I try something else (PNP)?

Retake ielts?

Do you have 1 year of work experience before Canada? Are you FSW or CEC?

FSW, I have 6 yrs work experience but then I came to do Master's 4.5 yrs back. I tried IELTS, but missing desired score. I wanted to apply for CEC but as I mentioned I am an independent contractor, I am not getting any additional score for my experience in Canada.

Try it again. It's the fastest and cheapest way to increase your score.

You need L-8 W-7 R-7 S-7 for clb 9 in each.

Try it again. I got mine on the 5th attempt:

Or you can try the CELPIP, some people find they do better on one exam over the other.
