A friend had recently tried creating EE profile. However, his application was rejected with "Ineligible for EE at this time". There isn't anything specific to his case however, there was a generic reasons

* not having a valid language test,
• language test results that are more than two years old,
• a language test score that is too low,
• not having enough relevant work experience,
• not having the required education level,
• not having enough funds.

He is 39, applying from USA and language scores was (6W, 6R, 9S, 8.5 S). He has a job offer and more than required years of experience. His score came around 470 based on calculator but he isn't sure why the profile was rejected. Any suggestions?

Age can also be a reason.

Not enough info to comment. Has he done ECA? Did he show sufficient POF? Does he have at least 67 points under FSW? He needs to review all of his answers again.

No age isn't an issue.

Is the IELTS score valid? Is the POF amount as per the current requirements? He needs to review his answers.
We might need further information to comment.

Yeah, he had ECA and POF for a family of 4. I can ask about the 67 point criteria. Thanks.

Yeah, he took IELTS just couple of months back and declared necessary POF. I'm gonna suggest him look at 67 points requirement for FSW.

If he has 67 points or more then that is not the issue and he has answered one or more questions incorrectly.
Yes, then he need to check the online application carefully. One wrong answer can disrupt your successful application submission.

Good call. It turns out the points came to only 64 as per https://canximmigration.com/federal-skilled-worker-program-calculator/. Age (39) really played a role.

Language 20 (Speaking CLB 9, Listening CLB 9, Reading CLB 7, Writing CLB 7)
Education 21
Work 15
Age 8

The website claims spouse language level (minimum CLB 4) under Adaptability gives 5 additional points. Is that the true?

A distant relative (Uncle/aunt/cousin etc.) can also help you fetching 5 adaptability scores.

Thanks. Yeah, he doesn't have any. He might give it another shot and if not, try ICT and CEC once in Canada on a work permit.
If working for a company with Canadian offices then that May be the best option. However, doesn’t mean his CEC score will be high enough.
