Hello,
I recently started looking into immigration avenues, into Canada (from the United States). I took the assessment, on the immigration website, and it told me to apply for Express Entry. I did so and it said that I don't meet the minimum requirements and I'm not entirely sure what happened. It says I can be found ineligible for:
- Not having a valid language test. (Took the CELPIP).
- Language test results that are more than two years old. (Taken at the end of February, 2022).
- A language test score that is too low. (Got a 12, in all categories).
- Not having enough relevant work experience. (I have a corporate job with a lot of different responsibilities, but I settled on NOC 1311 {Skill Level B} as my NOC. 5 Years of experience).
- Not having the required education level. (Have a bachelor's in project management. Got it right before COVID, so I haven't gotten a PM job yet, but wanted to do that in Canada).
- Not having enough funds. (I put CA$100,000, as I would be selling my condo and I will easily have a lot more than this, in equity).
My guess is that I don't have my college education officially assessed, yet. I can't think of anything else here, that would be a problem. Unless if the work experience required is in Skill Level A, but I thought I read B or higher, on the website. I'm planning on getting my college degree assessed, regardless. I'm still deciding on whether or not I'd like to get a Master's in project management. May even go to Canada as a student and do that, as a backup option.
If I get my education formally assessed, would that fix my eligibility issue?
Are there any other issues above, that I should be aware of?
