Hi praikdeshmukh1987,
I hope you've already resolved your problem but, if not, see below for a few things you can check that might help to resolve the problem...


Common Reasons for Express Entry Profile Ineligibility
*This guide is only relevant to persons who expect to be eligible under the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) programmes, NOT the Federal Skilled Trades (FST) programme


Intended Destination/Province
  • You indicated Quebec as your intended destination/province
FSW Eligibility Points
Education
  • If you’re applying under the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) programme AND your educational credential(s) are foreign (i.e. not completed in Canada)…
    • you indicated you haven’t completed an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) to determine the Canadian equivalency for your foreign educational credentials
    • you indicated your Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) is older than 5 years old
Proof of Funds
  • If you’re applying under the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) programme, AND don’t have VALID arranged employment in Canada (check here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/offer.asp)
    • you did not indicate enough settlement funds to qualify (a single applicant, currently, has to show they CAD$12,300 or more for settlement purposes; if you have dependents (accompanying or not), you need to show more, depending on how many dependents you have)

    • your primary NOC Code is not Skill Type/Level 0, A or B

    • at least one (1) year of FULL-TIME work experience (or the part-time equivalent)
    • that was continuous (it doesn’t have not interrupted by employment breaks other than normal vacation / sick/ personal leave, etc.)
    • that was paid
    • under your primary NOC Code (which must be Skill Type/Level 0, A or B)
    • within the last ten (10) years
  • If you’re applying under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) programme, you do not have…
    • at least one (1) year of FULL-TIME work experience in Canada (or the part-time equivalent)
    • in one or more Skill Type/Level 0, A, or B NOC Codes
    • within the last three (3) years

  • Your language test results are older than 2 years old

  • If you’re applying under the Federal Skilled Workers (FSW) programme…
    • you didn’t attain at least Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) equivalency level 7 across each of the 4 language abilities on your language test
  • If you’re applying under the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) programme…
    • you didn’t attain at least Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) equivalency level 7 across each of the 4 language abilities on your language test, if your primary NOC is Skill Type/Level 0 or A
    • you didn’t attain at least Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) equivalency level 5 across each of the 4 language abilities on your language test, if your primary NOC is Skill Type/Level B
I think it could be because of Quebec because i had ticket all provinces .I never knew that would be an issue.Would you suggest i just click ontario instead?

Checking 'All Provinces' shouldn't pose an issue - it's only if you only check 'Quebec' I think. But, you can try unchecking 'Quebec' and checking all individual provinces and territories EXCEPT Quebec to see if that resolves the issue...

Do it right away. Express Entry profiles aren't applications .They're 'expressions of interest' - the application comes after you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) based on that expression of interest :)

Hello, I had already submitted my EE profile for the pool and I met the FSWP with 457 points. However, when I went back to my application and edited my work form and then resubmitted, I was suddenly found ineligible... Do you guys know why?

This is a very weird issue because at first I was accepted into the pool and when I edited my application it told me I was ineligible.. Any response will be appreciated! Looking forward for you reply..

Thanks in advance!
