You most likely made a mistake when answering these questions:

1 -Was this degree, diploma or certificate:
from a public post-secondary school, such as a college, trade/technical school, university or CEGEP (in Quebec)
from a private post-secondary school that operates under the same rules as public schools
a diplôme d'études professionnelles (DEP) or an attestation de spécialisation professionnelle (ASP) earned through a qualifying study program of at least 900 hours from a private school in Quebec, or
a Bachelor's, Master's or Doctorate degree from a Canadian private school that can legally award degrees under provincial law. (The student must have been enrolled in a study program that led to a degree as set out by the province.)
Help

2 - Was more than half the study program English or French as a second language courses?

3 - Did XXX study in Canada based on an award that required them to go back to their home country to apply their knowledge and skills? This includes some awards from Global Affairs Canada.

As far I know, I answered all questions correctly.
I finished Master's degree (2 years full time) from the University of New Brunswick (has valid institution code). Also, my degree didn't say that I have to go back to my country to apply my skills. So I put 'NO' in that question.

Q-1: 'YES' (after that asked for DLI # which is O19348802512 for University of New Brunswick)
Q-2: 'YES' (as my entire study was in English)
Q-3: 'NO' (as my degree didn't say anything about going back to home country)

*Sigh*

The second question is asking if half of your courses were ESL or FSL (courses for you to LEARN the English or French language). It is not asking if they were taught in English/French.

Answer is "no" you'll get your points within 24 hours.

That's where I made a mistake. Thanks. But I already received ITA for this profile. Do you suggest to decline it and create a new profile? Or it's okay if apply on this invitation.

No, you can proceed with this ITA.

If anything you claimed less points than what you should have.
