Yes, it is a thing in all countries. When the plane lands slowly without any turbulence it is considered a soft landing. If there is turbulence then it is a hard landing. So yes. Please ask the pilot to land softly for your soft landing.
Should I put in my EE profile my current skilled work experience to increase the changes of getting a NOI from a province? It’s not the NOC I’m claiming points for, it’s a totally different NOC and I started in this job in May this year.
The only reason I would put this job in my profile is to attract interest from the provinces but since it’s not 1 year experience yet I don’t know if it will make any difference in their interest in my profile.
I don't know whether I am too pessimistic about recent draws. My gut feeling is it would be extremely difficult to get picked under 500 or 490 given the recent huge spikes of 500+ applicants. For those who are outside of Canada without any Canadian experiences (e.g. education or working), are there any other components to boost the score?

I have found none till now, having lived in NZ for two years and Aus for five! The immigration is simple, 95% Applications are online, you can update any information directly in application. All visas are paper and stamp free, even PR is just a piece of paper! Immigration at airports is automated. Phone plans are cheaper! I pay $40 with 50GB data, unlimited local calls/sms and 1000 mins to most countries! Fibre plans are around $60-70 for 100mbps. All government, medical and bank stuff can be done online or over the phone!
