Hello friends,
I will be applying next month as I am waiting for my credential assessments, I have found some details on skill transferability & hope this might be of some help to everyone...
Many people are confused about how the 100 point maximum "skill transferability factor" in express entry is calculated. Points in this category can be obtained by COMBINING two of your background factors, such as your level of education and your language experience.
It is broken down into two categories (I name them "A" or "B") of 50 points maximum each:
Category A: Your level of education must be combined with:
Official Language Proficiency (s 21) - maximum of 50 points
Canadian Skilled Work Experience (s 22) - maximum of 50 points
Category B: Your foreign skilled work experience must be combined with:
Official Language Proficiency (s 23) - maximum of 50 points
Canadian Skilled Work Experience (s 24) - maximum of 50 points
Note that even though you may be able to score over 50 points in either category A or B, it will be rounded down to 50 points maximum for each category. So for example, if you score 63 points in category A, and 25 points on category B, you will get a final score of 75 for skill transferability (63 is rounded down to 50 plus 25 from category B).
