In what way would you not qualify for here? Medical professionals from the US have little or no difficulty practicing here. The same cannot be said for anyone else from abroad, although as of late there has been quite an influx of Afrikaner MDs.

Latest CRS Score Cut-Off is 691
The latest CRS draw score is 691, which is a higher score than the last EE draw, mainly because it is a PNP draw. This is the cut-off CRS score for the most recent draw. Anyone with this score or higher would have received an invitation to apply for Express Entry.
Did I do the calculation wrong?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

At a glance, I think you left out a lot of details that would increase your points. You are fluent in English in all categories. You left out all your years of job experience in the US. As well in include all certificates and education.
Same goes for Mrs. George.
Imagine that both of you are 40 years of age and recalculate.

I dropped my age to 39 and lied about a Job offer, foreign work experience (USA?) and a couple of other things.
Boosted up to 729.
Just increasing my age to 45 drops my score by 50 points.

America does need an overhaul - I just went through as a skilled immigrant and it’s a crazy system.
That said - I’ve seen the implementation in Canada and imo it’s much worse than the family system before it. Much worse.
Don’t underestimate government’s ability to bungle this. And Canada typically has a better bureaucracy than the US.

Yes we sure do.

I suspect the U.S. immigration system chronically underweights "skill based" immigration due to opposition from labor groups. After all, more skilled labors from abroad means more foreigners to "take the jobs away from Americans."

I’ve been through both and found the Canadian system much easier to handle as well as being quicker. They were both bureaucratic but in Canada we knew where we were. Waiting for the Green card was just an interminable period apparently based on blind luck for when we’d get accepted. In both cases we used a lawyer to assist that we’d never have been able to afford without my company paying.
It’s amazing that the US doesn’t have a merit based system, presumably because it would be racist

Citing your foreign work experience as USA is not lying. Foreign work experience in your profession is all what you have. You have never worked as a physician in Canada.
