CRS Score 0 and Profile Ineligible??

[tsundar97]

Hi,

I have an issue when submitting my Express Entry profile. My CRS score is always 0 and I am always marked as ineligible. However, whenever I checked my eligibility for an EE after taking the questionnaire, it always says that I am eligible. I also have a Personal Reference Code. I am applying for the Authors and Writers role (NOC code is 5121). As far as I've checked, this profile is an unregulated trade.

Here are my details:

• Age: 24 yo female
• Marital Status: Single
• Education: Bachelor's degree in India, graduated 2019 - ECA report is from February 2022
• IELTS score average: 8 (Reading - 7, Listening - 8.5, Writing - 8, Speaking - 8.5)
• IELTS score is from July 2021
• Canadian Work experience: 0
• Total Foreign Work experience: 2 years
• Occupations: Software engineer (Jun 2019- Mar 2021), Content Writer (May 2021 - Sep 2021)
• NOC Skill Levels and Codes: Software engineer (A, 2173), Content Writer (A, 5121)
• Certificate of qualification from a Canadian province, territory, or federal body: No
• Valid Job offer: No
• Siblings living as citizens or permanent residents: No

When calculating my CRS score using the CRS score calculator, I get a total of 413. I also have a doubt about this question:

Some jobs are regulated in Canada. You would need a license or certification to practice these jobs. Do you know if your primary occupation or trade is regulated? (required) Help - Some jobs are regulated in Canada. You would need a license or certification to practice these jobs.

Do you know if your primary occupation or trade is regulated?

I selected "No" twice before submitting, created a new profile and then selected the "I don't know" option. I still receive a message that says that I am ineligible to apply.

I have no idea where I'm going wrong, someone please help!

You need to have at least one year of continuous work experience in your main NOC

Are you working now in a skilled position now? If so make sure, you work at least one year with no breaks.

No, i'm currently looking for a job

So once you have a job, make sure it is skilled, stay for a year with no breaks. Then you are eligible for EE.

You'll be eligible if you change your primary NOC to 2173; provided the work was continuous.
Though your crs is low for an EE invitation, whenever it resumes

Correct. Missed that there is a year of experience posted.

Alright, thank you!
