New to the forum here and request your advice please. Do apologize for a lengthy and off topic post. I am at CRS 441 (score will decrease after my birthday in Oct 19 to 436) , got IELTS CLB 10 (no scope of improvement here, valid till Jan 2021), maxed out on work experience, WES - 3 year bachelor degree. Request your help in selecting the right options below to improve my CRS.
1. Complete 1 year of PG Diploma here in India and then again apply for WES for two more certificate points ( may enter pool again only in Sept 2020. Possible CRS points - 469.
2. Complete 1 year certificate/PG certificate/PG diploma course in Canada. Have enough funds to fund this education as of today.Possible CRS score - 484
3. Learn French and give TEF/TCF in India and score CLB 7 ( dont know any basics of French , hence this may also take about 1 year ). Possible CRS - 478.
Things to Consider :
1. No possible points for Spouse as she is only 10+2 and doesnt have any experience in NOC - O,A or B.
2. Funds available as of today for Spouse +2 Kids. ( May not have enough funds to apply again in Sept 2020 after I complete PG in India or after learning French in one year).
3. May not require POF after if I complete Canadian education, as I would be inland and hopefully with a job offer.( Correct me regarding the POF requirement for Inland applicants)
Taking into consideration the above personal scenarios, what do you all feel is the best way for me to increase CRS. Looking at the current trend, I dont feel there is any way the CRS points will touch 441 or below that. Thanks again in advance.
@NikSharma01 Thank you very much for your advise. Even Im inclined towards a study program in Canada. However, I had a query wrt to POF for EE after completing the study program. Would I still need to show the POF because I would be applying inland ? Thanks/
To me, both options seems pretty good. However, my recommendation is to go for the one-year study program in Canada, because you will be benefitted by it and will be prioritized everywhere in Canada, because of your Canadian qualifications, even for getting the job opportunities!

did you try calculating your score without a spouse ? it will go considerably higher . i'm at 450 with spouse and 470 without.
As for french, i'm a french speaker . it's my country's second language . we start studying it at school since the age of 7 or 8. and let me tell you getting nclc7 in french can't be achieved after a year of study. i see fluent speakers of french stuggling with TEF. I personally managed to get clb9 in IELTS ( w 7, R 7, S 7,5, L 9) on my first try and virtually without any preparation. However i've got nclc 7 in TEF ( S 9, W 10, R 10, L7) with more than a month of rigorous preparation. Besides it is more expensive than IELTS ( by about 50%) and the results take up to 2 months to be in and in case you want to sit for it again you need to wait for 3 months . Save youself all the stress and frustration that comes with TEF and opt for something safer .

You can even do a distance education program, not necessary to do a regular program. Even a distance education program gives you similar points. This will help you retain your job and work and maintain your funds for future
I never realized this, I just calculated my CRS without spouse (for first time) and my score is 464. With spouse its 450. Why this difference?
What are the pros and cons of sponsoring wife after getting pr status? Can this be done easily?

we are both at 450 so it would be wiser to wait for an ITA and spare ourselves the pain and stuggle of a long distance relationship and the sponsoring process which may take up to 1 year . For someone with a lower score and no scope to increase it, i think it would be better to apply alone .

Hi Yes, my CRS right now is without spouse, my score would actually drop if I include my spouse and thanks for the advice on French. I will drop learning French for immigration purposes however would still like to learn the language. Thanks again.
I guess If I do not get ITA in next 2 draws, I'm gonna go solo, as my birthday falls on 10th July. Is there a separate express entry pool for solo candidates? Hw does that work out? or is it the same pool?

let this be your back up plan . you just alter you personal details in your EE profile . you pick married and then spouse not accompanying . not sure about the exact terminology used cause my profile is in french (non accompagnant )
