A LESSER EXPLORED AREA IN EXPRESS ENTRY FOR GRA: QUERY

[sanju2021]

We have been invited to apply for EE under CEC. Our points are good enough, but we fear that certain points might be deduced under the CEC stream (as those apparently only apply under FSW stream). We have been as honest as to the best of our knowledge in answering the questions. Regarding work , my foreign work experience as per ircc is qualified under FSW and I can claim points, but under CEC, I cannot claim any points for my foreign work experience. The system asks the questions as a whole for both streams and calculates score and ultimately sends to the same pool. Our ITA arrived under CEC stream but the scores were for the total work experience (canada + foreign). Even without that work claim, I am still eligible under CEC (468 points w/o foreign work).

My question is: should I accept the present invitation or should I decline this one, remove my answers for certain questions (foreign work experience) and wait for the next round? Only issue with the latter option is that we might have wait longer to get into CEC stream.

The system asks you about Canadian and foreign experience separately. You should have answered accordingly.

YES , I did fill those separately . 1st :-Worked as teaching assistant outside canada for foreign experience for few years . CEC doesnot give points to GRA , but FSW does as per IRCC online site . It is also clear that if GRA is done solely in canada , this same status is not elligible to claim any points under CEC or FSW . But it says under FSW, we can claim points if a GRA is done in foreign country and must fulfill all the criteria as mentioned in the IRCC site . But cannot claim the same points for CEC pool. Its a pretty confusing state.
