CEC, Oinp Tech, Stem draws

Hello everyone,

I’m eligible for STEM, CEC, OINP HCP Tech category, and FSW, with a current CRS score of 484. Based on the current trends, it seems like IRCC is focusing more on CEC draws. If they start issuing over 5,000 ITAs per month, the CRS cutoff might drop to around 500.

I’m eagerly waiting for an OINP Tech draw. Additionally, I’m curious about the CRS distribution below certain cutoff scores and would love to understand how many people fall into those ranges.

I still have 1 year and 6 months left on my eligibility timeline. Please advise on how I can improve my chances for PR. Here are my thoughts:

1.  French: I don’t know a single word in French but am willing to learn. If you’ve been in a similar situation and learned French, how long did it take you? What scores did you achieve in French? Did you have any prior background in the language?

2.  Nova Scotia/Alberta PNP: I’m also considering moving to Nova Scotia or Alberta to pursue a PNP. However, finding an employer in the IT field who is willing to support my application or hire me seems challenging.

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!
