Low CRS score!! help please!!!

[Angrej Chahal]

Hello everyone,
I am thinking about moving to Canada through express entry or PNP. I have few concerns regarding my CRS score so I was just wondering if you guys could help answering some questions?

I have studied certificate III and IV in automotive mechanical technology and Diploma in business management in Melbourne, Australia.
I have worked as a Manager in Fast Food restaurant for about 10 years in different capacities.
I recently sat in IELTS and scored L 8.5 R 8.5 W 7.5 S 8 Overall 8
I have no relative living in Canada and I am single/never married.
I am 31 years old

My final CRS score is 408, which is not good enough for Express Entry Visa right now because the Cut Off points are hovering around 470 at the moment.

Does anybody have any idea if there is a way to improve my CRS score with something that is not time consuming or should I opt for different ideas like PNP or something?

Please help!!

Thank you

I would look into the PNP programs. You can increase your points somewhat by increasing your language scores - but not enough to be selected through EE.

Look at New Brunswick, i remember they were recruiting a lot of people in the food service sector.

Other ways to improve your score would be:

1. Get a 3-year bachelor's degree (can you use your diploma to get exemptions?)
2. Get points for French language test result
3. Get a job offer.
