How flexible is the "points" system for immigration?

19 years ago
Several years ago I took the application for Canadian residency test, the one where you had to score a 70 or better to be admitted. I tested well above 70. However, I was 42 when I took the test, and the points drop off seriously after one passes their 44th birthday. I was told the application process could take two years or more. I've pretty much given up on Canada in favor of another country, but if I change my mind, can anyone tell me how rigid this points system is? I'm self-employed and work with US-based companies, so I wouldn't be taking any Canadian jobs, and I would be bringing US dollars into Canada. Does that help my case?
