CRS score difference - profile vs calculator

I submitted my profile for express entry, and my CRS score was different than what I calculated on the IRCC online express entry calculator. The score is 445 on my profile but only 413 on the online calculator.

Is this normal? Why is there a difference? I already double-checked all of my details. The biggest difference was in the "Skills transferability factors" score (26 vs 50).

Did anyone else experience this behavior, or have I made some error in my application? I qualify under CEC.

I am missing points? I thought i had extra points.
Yes, I answered "No" to that question.
You are missing points for the info above - 119 for education and then 112 in your profile. Same for skills transferability. You may have answered incorrectly which would effect education and skills transferability.

I will look in to it. So, you mean to say is that 483 is the correct score? I tried amending education points again and again but it is giving 483.

Hi,
Apologies if i am bothering you again.
I am still confused about the points.
CRS calculator gave 452 while express entry gave me 483.
Which one is right? Did you try to calculate my profile?
Your comment and an insight will be highly appreciated.

If your EE profile is 483 then that is the correct one. I got 483 on the IRCC calculator.
