Our express entry and CRS scores

 I woke up at around 5 am today and immediately checked my cellphone for any message from WES. And there it is. An email from WES saying that they have completed their evaluation and that I should log on to my account to view it.

I immediately went to my WES account and was able to download a copy of my evaluation. The report said that my institution is recognized and I have a Canadian equivalency of 4 years. Yey!

So now it's time to complete our express entry.

Believe me, I had butterflies in my stomach as I was filling out the forms. We were very careful with all the details because an error can lead to not being accepted in our application later on, or being barred from the pool for 5 years.

There were a lot of information that we need to be ready with. Fortunately the website had instructions and clarifications.

Finally, we were done and our Comprehensive Ranking System points were generated. We were also given a job seeker validation code. So we went to Job Bank and created a profile as well.

Our CRS was just 359 points, way below to be able to get an Invitation to Apply (ITA). The lowest scores of those being invited were at around 440 and up. 😕

But then I remembered a recent news about Ontario inviting those with scores for as low as 351. This was just in March 2018. There is renewed hope. We prayed after getting our score and we believe that as long as we trust in the Lord, He will continue to direct our path. Right now, all we need is faith and trust in Him, and to continue working towards our goal.
