Can you give us the breakdown of your points so we can help you work out how to increase them?

Have you not got ECA's? No points for education? That's 30 points assuming you both get secondary education given.

Getting your IELTS marks up would have a good chunk of extra potential points.

HTH.

I think you're missing some points for a top IELTS score. You've said you scored 108, the max is 128, so that's 20 points, There is also potentially extra points under Skills Adaptability, depending on what CLB Level you got for each section? Well worth practicing and re-taking it IMO.

Hi,

I need to edit my wife's details as she would get 2 points as she has a high school diploma, but I only have an English high school education which is a grade 11 so I can't get points for that?

Will any if my trade certificates get anything at all?

I am looking to redo my ielts as I only got the following
writing 6.5
speaking 9
reading 8
listening 7.5

my wife got
9 speaking
9 listening
9 reading
7.5 writing

Right, so your wife has got max points. You're already over CLB Level 7 so you wouldn't get extra points for Skills Adaptability, but you would get extra points if scoring higher.

I'd also get ECA's for both of you, you may get given secondary education so that's another chunk of points. You can include your trade certs although be prepared for them to not count, but if you're paying for the ECA you may as well include everything you can just in case.

Definitely worth trying both of those, if you do get given secondary education and can get your IELTS score higher, that's potentially 50 points so would be enough to get you up to the level of previous draws.

Another question.

it says I can get 50 points for a job offer. Does that need to be as an electrician?

As that would put me at 300 points even before I even redo my ielts and eca .

It doesn’t have to be as an electrician, although to get an LMIA the employer will have to prove you were more qualified than any Canadian applicant, so it’ll need to be something you have experience & qualifications in.

Tbh, it’ll be a lot easier to just retake your IELTS and get ECA’s, rather than trying to find a job offer from a sponsoring employer and getting a positive LMIA.

Hi all,

So I am about to have an ECA as it does look like for CRS points they will take my qualifications in to consideration for education, even if the wont help in terms of a job.

I have 3 level 3 city and guild and one level 2 which under the current qualification frameworks are the same as an NVQ3s and NVQ2s respectively.

From that basis would you consider this 1 year post high school? or am I way off?

Afraid not, vocational qualifications don't count for points purposes. Send them off anyway just in case though, and do get an ECA for your wife too - even those two points might make the difference between getting an ITA or not.

Good luck.

Hi all,

Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice on here.

I improved my results and pushed it up to 292 and then the draw came in at 332. A massive 45 point jump.

It now seems unlikely that I will ever get my score better that will negate my ever increasing age, so I have opted to put immigration on hold.

For everyone else, don't wait to try your dreams as it may end up being too late!

Regards,

Chris

I'm in a similar (albeit slightly younger boat) to you. The score has given me the kick up the ass to get everything in gear(as i was scoring 285ish and hoping to resit IELTS but hadn't bothered with ECA, wasn't bothering with partners IELTS etc ). If you really want it, my suggestion is, and its something i may end up doing is trying to get yourself a post secondary qualification.

As for what you go for and how you do it, thats a bit of a minefield - and despite plenty of reading i am not an expert(and i do believe ECA's can be slightly potluck to boot) so would rather not give advice than give bad advice so please do your own research - but from reading quite a bit I am inclined to believe a HNC is classed as a 1 year post secondary qualification.

can be sat in 2 years part time, 1 year full time - whether you can enrol in distance or e learning, and get through it in a year or quicker i guess depends on the college/uni and your commitment.

but that could score you an extra 84 points, throwing you into the 370's, even saying it takes you 2 years your still hitting 360's.
