Confused about why my Education score is 0

[fernaj]

hi everyone,

I've tried asking in so many places and am at a bit of a loss. I'd really appreciate some help! Here's the brief summary of everything that I can think of that could be relevant:

• I submitted my application on May 17 and have checked through it many times since
• I'm Australian and 33 years old (turning 34 soon)
• Calculated score was estimated at 500+
• I scored 11/12/11/12 on my CELPIP
• I haven't attempted a French test
• I have three Bachelors degrees
  • technically this is a 4-year double degree in Arts/Science + a 1-year Honours in Arts, totalling 5 years of study, but I have three separate Bachelor certificates and two separate academic transcripts
  • my GPA throughout this time is roughly 3.5+
  • I submitted these qualifications as three separate rows in the application ( double degree in two fields was not an option)
• I have uploaded my academic transcripts through WES and have confirmation that my documents were received by WES
• I have a job offer from a Canadian company and am currently working in that role on a 2-year work permit
• I've been working in Canada for 1 year and 2 months in this same role
• My NOC code is 60010
• I have 8 years of work experience in Australia in similar roles
• I have applied for the Ontario Provincial Nomination but not heard back

Below is what my score is on my profile and it's just not what I expected. Is there something I might have done wrong?

Do you have the ECA? If you don't have the WES results, then no points.

no I don't because I didn't know I needed it before submitting the application. There's nothing on the application that indicates that or asks if I have it, unless I'm missing something. I think this is exactly the information I was missing - thank you so much! So will my score just automatically go up once IRCC receives my WES results? Would it be better to withdraw my application now and start again once I get my WES results?

Suggest you spend some time reading through the Express Entry requirements on the IRCC website. All of the program requirements are very clearly spelled out there, including the requirement to have ECA complete.

WES is not going to send the results to IRCC. You wil need to update your profile once you receive the WES results.
