Steps before submitting EE profile and Pre-ITA phase

looks like you are close to the cut-off score (441). I would suggest to go ahead and create a EE profile and check your score. You can stay in the pool for 1 year. Once you get a score you may get a clearer idea of whether you have a chance for ITA . you can decide accordingly.

This topic has so much information. It would have been good if separate thread was created for each sub topics for easier segregation. Well, I am waiting for IELTS result which is due on 6th Dec. ECA was done last year only. My wife has 4+ years of IT experience ( non-canadian). But CRS calculator asks only canadian experince for second applicant. does that mean this does not help in adding points?
