Are you self-employed? - self employed
What were your answers for the questions related to your Canadian education?
I answered Bachelors degree, place the name of the school. plus the official school code
Did you work during your studies? - i worked part time does this matter? i reviewed that question
Studying full-time while doing this job? A person must be in class at least 15 hours per week during the academic year to be considered full-time. This includes any period of training in the workplace that is part of the study program

i would part time but which one gets me the points yes or no?

"Self-employment and work experience gained while you were a full-time student (such as a co-op work term) doesn’t count under this program."

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/canadian-experience-class.html

Your answer regarding your studies does not help me at all to determine whether you answered correctly the forms or not.

i understand now, so in question "Studying full-time while doing this job? A person must be in class at least 15 hours per week during the academic year to be considered full-time. This includes any period of training in the workplace that is part of the study program"

- i should say "NO" since i was working fulltime and not studying. and this will get me points? i said "YES" last time because i was confused by the question.

also wwhats the diffference betweenn CRS - Human Capital - Level of Education = 128 & CRS - Canadian education = 0
i noticed they are both in separate categorie. i have a score in the other but zero in another.
i went to school here in vancouver for my 2nd degree. 1st degree is philippines

Were you attending class at least 15 hours during the week? If yes, then you're a full time student and won't get points. If no, then you can get points.

You get bonus points for studying in Canada (15 to 30 points). The fact that you are not getting those points is due to your answers related to your Canadian studies.

You're applying under CEC stream right? Why don't you just start your work history from the time you graduated.. if you finished your school Dec 2017, then why not start your work history from January 2018 to present? and I assume starting Jan 2018 you are already working full time as stunt performer right?

Anyways the requirement to be qualified for CEC should be at least 1 year full-time work experience. If you try to start it on Jan 2018 then it will only calculate your full-time work. Excluding the time when you started working in 2016 as part-time.

This is only my suggestion though, you can try and submit your profile and see if it increases your score.

Have you tried to assess your previous degree under WES or any authorized agency? having two or more degrees will also add up to your overall points (one in Canada & another in your home country - but this degree should be assessed by a certain organization such as WES)

You cannot claim 50 points for the job offer since you are on a open work permit and no LMIA was issued for the job.
