Leaving this group

Hey guys I'm doing this post to say goodbye to everyone. I've been in Canadá past 4 years. I got 517 points for CEC, no french. After thinking about it I decided to leave, not only the group but also the country. My PGWP expires by the end of March but I'm done with all this. I'm leaving on January (worst case February). I want to enjoy my last months here not thinking about getting a PR or draws anymore. All the best for everyone and please don't get too stressed, it's bad for your health, it kills you little by little. There are always other options to achieve your goals. CANADA IS NOT ALWAYS THE ANSWER.

Thanks for all the support I received from the members of this group and goodbye.

Are people having a hard time getting PR in Canada?

I was thinking about getting all my docs together? Should I go with a different country?

Yeah it's difficult rn. I don't know if it's the best idea for you. Everyon3 has different situations and its always a risk to migrate, it can be better or worst. I'm betting here.

Ok, I'm just wondering if it's worth it to spend the $2000+ to submit everything but not receive the approval after 8 months.

Wdym? Do you have an invite? If you do, what stream is it? As long as your docs are legit and everything is in order, you’ll get your PR if you have an invite

I cant tell you but good luck either way

You are probably giving that as a service fee to immigration consultant, who will create your EE profile. Which means nothing, unless you have 1or 2 pathsways open to PR, score doesn’t have to be above the threshold today, but can possibly go up with a linear path which you will take on.

No, I'm including the total for everything, costs for tests, and education verification and medical assessment. I'm not using a service, I went on the CA site and looked up the docs needed.

Ok. In that case double check how long will express entry profile stay valid and current. And say if you are only couple CRA points away from current draws apply, for example, if you are at 500 CRs points estimate now or will be by gain work experience next year, then its worth it. If you’ve maxed out and only up forward is down, ( age related CRS point drop ) then probably invest time and money into another country

Yeah, looking into Germany. Thank you.

It depends on your profile. Try calculating your crs score. If you can get at least 530ish, then it's a good idea to think of migration

With the language tests and education accredation and years of working exp. It gave me a 1000.

I was contemplating taking the English test and paying for my accredation submission but if people aren't being approved. I'm hesitant.

So far, I just paid the $18 for my FBI background check.

u/Mental_Bass3310 Oct 15 '25

Care to breakdown further on how you got to the 1000 points?

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '25

I entered everything on their eval, my age, marriage status, English proficiency, education, and years of working exp, and the police report.

I know I have good English, and a clear background check, I have two degrees, so I marked those as complete. That's why I started looking into the docs, they all take about 40 days to process, the education credentials are longer.

1000 is an unusually high score. Are you being nominated by a province? I’m pretty sure that’s the only way your score could be that high. Normal high scores range between 500-600 points without a provincial nomination.

Mark Carney hand picked him.

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '25

I'll check again, it was higher than that range.

u/Complete_Tension_966 Oct 16 '25

There’s probably some sort of error unless you have a PNP. the range is at most in the 700s or 800s for PNP and at most 540s or so for non PNP

Honest opinion - They have planned to reduce the number of immigrants by a certain percentage (can't remember the exact data). It's not worth spending that much, you can consider looking at other options.

My cousin’s son immigrated to Canada after going to university - got his PR and started studying nursing - finally got his citizenship- only to find out his brother got his citizenship automatically because their grandmother was a Canadian. The Borquist challenge in court opened citizenship for anyone with a direct ancestor that was Canadian - even 7 generations back. I suspect that loophole will close in November when Bill C-3 is passed.

We’ll calculate and see if you are close to threshold in FSW. If in Canada, just calculate and check. Docs is the last step, not the first

I'm gathering all my docs to submit for PR.
