Canadian Work Experience Points - Express Entry

[EWLThomas]

Hi All,

I am a UK citizen currently on an IEC Working Holiday visa. I have now been working full time in Canada for over a year - split on two different jobs which are both category B NOC. I have just placed my express entry application and I am not getting any points for my Canadian work experience. I've double checked the website and it seems like I should get 50? Any others have experience of this?

Also my common-law partner is Canadian - she is educated but I get no points for her. Just wanted to check that this is because she is in Canada already?

Thanks in advance!

What are the 50 points for? can you elaborate more?

Thanks

Sorry - think I meant 40 points. The real question is I'm confused as to why I have zero points. See the info from the Comprehensive Ranking page below.

as far as I know you should be ok!

Maybe a glitch or something! when did you create your profile?

 

[EWLThomas]

About two days ago. It did say there were some technical issues. Is it better to create again or to submit a technical issue?

I also only get 25 points for each of these: Skill Transferability - Education & Skill Transferability - Foreign Work Experience. Despite having a WES certified BSc and over two years full time foreign work experience and a perfect English IELTS score. Any ideas on this as well?

Thanks!

To be honest a lot have been complaining about the system recently. Lots of glitches and points are not awarded/calculated correctly, so I would say hang tight for couple more days. If nothing changes, re create your profile!

Thanks, and all the best for you

Thank you! There are no penalties for re-creating a profile right?

Nope, just make sure you have withdrawn the old one!

Best of luck!
