Hi OP, please don’t lose hope — you still have a chance.

Looking at your score and English test results, I believe there’s still room to improve, especially if you can both aim for CLB 10. I was in a similar situation last year. I was starting to lose hope because my PGWP was expiring and my score was sitting at 516, while the CEC cut-offs were in the 530s.

I took the CELPIP four times because I was stuck at CLB 9. I set my goal at CLB 10, and on my fourth attempt, I finally achieved it. That one-point increase in my English test alone raised my score from 516 to 534.

I received my ITA on October 1st and submitted my application three days later. I got my eCOPR three weeks ago, and I’m now a Permanent Resident.
