Does job alone helps? I have IELTS 7.5 score, job offer and WES evaluation done, still couldn’t get enough CRS score. I’m interested to know as well

I guess job will help boost the score. Depends on your current score and how much the job offer can add to it.

Get a work permit and work there for some time on visa. Your score is indeed low. PNP will be helpful but its almost near impossible to get it given the heavy pool.

Did you get PR ? Yes you can apply , if you have PR. Just buy a cell phone number ( Toronto) add it on your resume .

No PR yet. In the process of applying

Interested in knowing too. I need a job to apply for my PR as I do not meet the cutoff.

Solid advice about getting a Canadian cell number; without that you will get nowhere. However, without PR it is not going to be easy unless you have an extremely niche skillset.

Lots of VOIP providers online or just buy a prepaid burner phone/SIM online and have it shipped to you.
