"Valid job offer - N/A" and no points added towards "Canadian education"

[mimicita]

Hi folks! I would like some help, please.

I just created my profile in Express Entry yesterday. I am on a PGWP, which is exempt from an LMIA, and I'm in the CEC stream and have been working in Canada for more than a year now.
Also, as I have a PGWP, I graduated from a Canadian, designated school. I suppose that should give me some points for the Canadian Education section? (I answered no to the question "Has [Your name] studied more than 50% of the program in person?" as it was during the pandemic, and I believe that shouldn't affect the points, but that's the only one I suspect that would impact the score if anything.)
But on my profile, it says I am not applicable for "valid job offer" and 0 points for the Canadian Education section, so I am confused. Did I do something wrong when creating my profile?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

For a job offer, you need a LMIA. So you answer NO to job offer. What did you answer for whether your program is in French or English?

Hi, thank you so much for your response! Okay, so it doesn't matter if it says "N/A" in the job offer section then. Good to know.
My education did not include any English/French as a second language, so I just chose "No" to that question that asked if my program was language related.

You are answering a question incorrectly. Without knowing how you are answering, we cannot help you.

Hello,

There is no question that asks whether your program is in French or English in the Education history section. The only question that has something to do with English or France is "Was more than half the study program English or French as a second language courses?", thus my previous answer. Would you paraphrase your question, please?

I would love to answer your question, but I cannot do so without knowing what you are asking. Could you please tell me what you mean by "What did you answer for whether your program is in French or English?"? Because there was no such a question.
Thank you.

Thank you.

But the question you already posted - "Was more than half the study program English or French as a second language courses?" You answered No. Maybe someone will help you as you will not post your answers. All the best.

Ohhhh, are you telling me to post all answers in the Education section of my Express Entry profile? Is that what it is? I didn't think someone would be so nice to take such a close look at my issue!
I am sorry for the confusion. I can post my answers, I just have to get them. Please stay tuned and thank you!

So you answered NO to “Was this degree, diploma or certificate:”. It should be YES if you went to a DLI.

I was never able to post a reply to say thank you due to a persistent server error. But I am hoping that this time it goes through finally.
Thank you so much for your help. I got points for my Canadian Education section. I really appreciate your help!

Have a wonderful weekend!
