Canada wizard says i am not eligible but i think i am - could it be wrong?

[sarahrvb]

just that really - the canada wizard says that i am not eligible but i am sure that i am.

A) Basic eligibility
We will only process your FSW application if you have:

at least one year of continuous and paid (full-time or an equal amount in part-time) work experience
in a single occupation, - yes
within the last 10 years, - yes
at skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 edition of the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC) - yes

AND
You have this work experience in one of the eligible occupations, - yes
OR

You have a valid offer of arranged employment, - no
OR

You are an international student who is enrolled in a PhD program in Canada (or who graduated from a Canadian PhD program within the past 12 months) and meet these criteria. - no

No matter what category above you apply to, you must meet ALL the minimum requirements below.

i have 10 years experience in one of the professions listed (but no experience in canada) i am fluent in english, have cash funds to settle with, am the right (ish) age (36), i have enough points (well above 67).
i don't get what it is not happy with.....
any ideas?

if I remember correctly that tool works in your favor only if you have an offer of employment in Canada and/or a Canadian Education. You can ignore that tool and look into the CIC website for an in-depth understanding of your eligibility in regards to the FSW.

If you have already calculated your points according to this official tool, http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

then you are definitely eligible. I am not sure why wizard predicted you ineligible. Try again, or as the other friend said, it might be selective (I doubt though).
