I declined my ITA and I still had the EE profile valid for few more months. But after few minutes, I received a message that my profile is ineligible. Does anyone know why this happened? What should I do?
This is the message I received in my profile when it became ineligible.
Your Express Entry profile has been reviewed and we have determined that you are not eligible for Express Entry at this time.
To qualify for Express Entry, you must meet the minimum eligibility criteria for the Federal Skilled Worker Program, and/or the Federal Skilled Trades Program and/or the Canadian Experience Class. Based on the information you gave in your profile, you do not appear to meet the minimum eligibility criteria for any of these programs at the moment.
Below are a few examples of why a candidate will be found ineligible:
• not having a valid language test,
• language test results that are more than two years old,
• a language test score that is too low,
• not having enough relevant work experience,
• not having the required education level,
• not having enough funds.
If you still want to come to Canada as a skilled immigrant, you can take steps to improve your qualifications and register for Express Entry at a later date. For example, you may try to improve your language score or gain a higher level of education.
I don't plan to apply again for at least another year, but since this became ineligible, is that a concern? Would I be considered ineligible in future as well? (my CRS is 545 so I don't worry about the points in the future, but I'm concerned about profile ineligibility due to declining ITA)
