I have assessed myself, and fall short of the 67 points required for an independent skilled worker immigrant. Can I still qualify?
In order to qualify as an independent skilled worker, it is proposed that you need 67 points under the point assessment system. There are very few exceptions to this. For example, if you can show that the point assessment system does not accurately reflect your chances of establishing yourself in Canada, you may request that the visa officer exercise administrative discretion to grant you an immigrant visa. Some of the matters which the visa officer may take into consideration in exercising his/her discretion are whether you have • a job lined up in Canada • have experience or skills which are in high demand in Canada • have lived or studied in Canada or North America are fluent in English or French Each case is unique, and you must make written submissions, and include documentation to prove your case.
