My CRS Score is 435. I wanted to know is this be sufficient for a PR? Also, What is the Min Cut off for Ontario and other states? I had seen that if a person has a CRS score of 400, He/ She is ELIGIBLE for a PR. But the recent CRS cut offs haven't been less than 450.
Getting PR is LOT more difficult and time consuming process. There are 2 ways to get it :-
1) Direct ITA (People with CRS<450 have almost no hope in the near future as their are thousands of applicants above 450 who are waiting since 6-9months)
2) Province Nominee Programme (PNP) - You apply to province, if they choose to nominate you - u get +600 CRS points and that means guaranteed ITA. Ontario used to invite people with CRS> 400 to apply to their PNP but they are currently taking about 1 year time in processing. Next OINP is expected to open in Nov. 2016.
