I was wondering if anyone could clarify the question below regarding express entry eligibility.
My consultant told me that you are can't get PR via express entry with a score less than 6 on each band even if your score is high in other factors such as education, experience etc without a score of 6 on each band your are pretty much wasting your time and cant get in the pool.
fast forward few days ago I created an express entry profile with ielts score of (S7, W 5.5, L 6, R 4.5) overall score of 6. and it says I met the requirement under Canadian experience class given that i have canadian work experience, education and i was awarded a score of 361 in the pool.
now my question is if i get an LMIA in NOC 0 from my current employer would I get an invitation? or will the low score from the english proficiency be a problem down the road like my consultant said?
Thanks in advance

Your consultant is correct, not sure why the system is showing you that you're eligible, although to be honest i also thought there was no requirement except for having a year of Canadian work experience to apply as a CEC candidate.
But the criteria seems pretty clear, just re-take the IELTS and get what you need.
a job offer gives you 50 additional points which brings your total score to 411, which is again very low. You do qualify for the program, your profile will be valid as long as you have valid IELTS and LMIA job offer, but you will not receive an invitation. Please try to improve IELTS, it will drastically improve your score.Hello all,

Your issue is that even with an LMIA, your points will still be far too low to be selected through CEC. You should focus on substantially improving your IELTS test results. Right now you're throwing points away by having such a low score.Hello all,

My employer is willing to get me lmia for NOC 0 which will increase my score by 200 points. do you think they will accept it given that my 1 year continuous work experience is in noc BYour issue is that even with an LMIA, your points will still be far too low to be selected through CEC.

A NOC 0 job offer will only get you 50 points.My employer is willing to get me lmia for NOC 0 which will increase my score by 200 points. do you think they will accept it given that my 1 year continuous work experience is in noc B
Oh really? i thought noc 0 gets you 200 points since its higher skilled job. anyways thanks for letting me know i will look into it moreA NOC 0 job offer will only get you 50 points.
That's incorrect. NOC 00 job offers get you 200 points. NOC 0 job offers are only 50 points. See this directly on the IRCC web site.Oh really? i thought noc 0 gets you 200 points since its higher skilled job. anyways thanks for letting me know i will look into it more
