Re: IEC IEC IEC...
Sure thing! I will have to wait until April 2019 at least I think.. will see how things work out.. I heard the min points for scoring fluctuates time to time as well.. time will tell if this will aid me or make it a difficulty.. I have positivity and high hopes in mind.

Re: IEC IEC IEC...
If you're scoring 537 on CRS I'd say you're home and dry. Not wishing to sound negative in any way but are you sure that number is correct? It's only that I've never heard of anyone on here ever having a score that high.

Re: IEC IEC IEC...
Then IMHO you really have nothing to worry about unless they massively change things in the next 12 months. Considering the targets for newcomers is still so high, that's unlikely but obviously not impossible.
Your EE profile would likely attract attention from some of the PNP's as well. My score was far lower than yours and I had an invitation from Ontario within a couple of hours of submitting my profile last year.

Re: IEC IEC IEC...
I’d certainly just apply for PR with 537. It’ll come through nice and quick and means you don’t have to enter a lottery system of working holiday visas etc. :-) Good luck!

Re: IEC IEC IEC...
Presumably that was for two people though. I think it would be harder for someone to score over 500 on their own.

Re: IEC IEC IEC...
I provide barely any points. Husband gets well over the 500 on his own. There were many areas where he scored zero- hasn’t studied in Canada, doesn’t speak French, no close relatives here etc. Only 1 year of work experience too so limited points there. So presumably if a person can tick those boxes as well they’d be flying. :-)

Re: IEC IEC IEC...
Might I add: this score is incl the completion of my Canadian studies and a years worth of Canadian Work XP. So in order for me to apply, I will have to wait for at least April 19’..

Re: IEC IEC IEC...
Some provinces scrape the EE pool for people they might want. If you meet their profile and selected that province as a destination of choice then they email you and offer to sponsor your application. If the sponsorship is successful then you're pretty much guaranteed a COPR at that point but under the condition that you will genuinely settle in that province and not just use it as an easy route to Canadian residence.
If your PNP is from Ontario then the chances of people bailing are fairly low. It becomes more of a risk for a place like New Brunswick though obviously.

Re: IEC IEC IEC...
So just your studies in Canada for points - not work experience, unless you can qualify for a PGWP and apply after you have worked for a year under a Post Grad Work Permit.

Re: IEC IEC IEC...
But please bear in mind Snowy's info that work undertaken whilst on a study permit does NOT count as work experience for CEC. IEC IEC IEC...
