Advice on possible PR Pathway
Hello everyone! Just looking for advice on my EE/CEC situation.
I’m currently on PGWP valid until January 2029. My CRS is currently 464, but I’ll complete one year of Canadian work experience this October. If there are no changes in the scoring system, my score should increase to 517. I’m turning 30 in January, though, so I’ll lose points then.
My estimated score for October 2027 and 2028 would be 526 and 537, assuming I will still get max scores for CELPIP again.
With the current EE draw trends, I’m not sure if 517 will be enough to get an ITA in October. I know I should be patient and grateful for the opportunity to be invited to apply for PR, but I also don’t want to be in an uncertain situation for too long, especially with all the changes with immigration.
Do you think it’s worth starting learning French now to qualify for the targeted draw instead? Or is my score still safe? My plan is to wait and see if I get invited between October and January first, since studying French will take time and money, resources that I don't have a lot of as of the moment.
Any advice or similar experiences would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
