I applied for my Canadian PR in March 2002.
I recalculated my points and it is 67. That is after giving myself 16 for
English. I have not submitted any IELTS scores.
I did my Bachelors with Major in English Literature.
I am an Oracle/DB2 DBA with a 10 plus years experience and working in the US
for the past 5 years.
I have an excellent and uninterrupted job history for the past 12 years in
reputed and fairly large organizations.
The places where I am losing points are spousal education, relatives in
Canada, arranged employment, knowledge of French.

So, with the new law in place, what are my chances ?

Your chance is next to zero until the passmark is lowered or your score is
raised.

Despite stories of cases of success with lower than the required passmark,
officer's descretion is exercised in a very small number of cases. Unless
there is extrordinary reason you should be let in despite the low score,
don't count on it.

Try and get a job in Canada. While some occupations are surplus, some are
in short supply.

Some firms, like ours have developed job search as part of our service. At
ours we go so far as to obtain the Labour Market Opinion and permission to
hire a foreing worker.
