Hi everyone,

I got my IELTS result and then created a profile and completed the information. When I submitted, I received a message that I'm not eligible for Express Entry! I worked out my points from the CIC website and I have 471.

I must say that I have applied for my Education Credential Assessment but haven't received the results yet so in the profile, I said NO to the ECA part for my qualification and thought I could add that later on. Could that be the issue that it's saying I'm not eligible?

Cheers.
 
Yes - ECA is the reason. You need to have ECA for your profile to be eligible.
 
Thank you so much.

I have another question. I will turn to 31 in a couple of weeks and if I wanted to keep the points for my age of 30, should I submit my profile or submit the ITA before my birthday?
 
You need to receive ITA before you turn 31.
 
Many thanks. I guess I am unlikely to get that soon and will need to leave 5 points ;)

If you have calculated correctly, You have really good score, don't worry you will be fine.
