Same as you, our options..
Hi,
I am exactly the same situation as you, I only got 72 points. The point system is simple but restrictive, I guess it intends to log out a lot of peole like us,
Here are our options:
1. Impove French language.
I planed on 1 year's class learning French to reach this modest Reading, basic talking, writing, listening... That will give 4 point, make it 76...time issue here
2. Get a job offer from Canada..
not quite a good path to go, even I don't believe it , now Bafflo, NY takes 14-36 to process, how can a company in Canada willing to give a job offer first, then wait 14-36months to do an interview after landing..? grim, I don't think those immigration officer believe it either... unless big and reputable companies like Microsoft..
3. Marriage or common-law partners
If spouse or common-law partner has a relatively good education background, that will give 5 points, make it 77.. I checked around the definition of common-law partners, it is more like a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, No legal bund of marriage. If you do have someone like that willing to file the application together... Lucky you!
Are you a boy or a girl? I am a girl. Anyways, keep asking around and if you find some other options to help no-family, educated single people like us immigation to Canada under skilled worker Cat. don't forget to email me those tips: Thanks a lot!
