If that is the case why CIC assessment says I am eligible and takes me to the page to create EE profile? I know it is not only my issue. Many candidates have experienced it. So please stop saying I don't have enough points! Even based on FSW old system I have 71 points which is more than minimum (67).
Guys, is there anyone who knows what could cause this ineligibility? How do you enter the complete/full academic years?
I have recently renewed my passport so I have two passports now, I should enter both of them, right?
up tp you, but have you ever tried re-taking the eligibility test and make your score higher in IELTS to see of im wrong? try putting 8, 7,7, 7 and see what happens.

makes sense when putting it in my Express entry profile.

What about the work history in the job bank profile? Should I put all of them too, even if only 2 (noc codes) of them are relevant to my job application and the rest aren't?

i have worked in 8 different companies for the last 10 years with about 5 noc codes. only 2 noc codes are relevant.

That is not the case as many people with higher ielts scores face the same issue as me! You can do a search and see.
Guys, anyone knows what I might be doing wrong??

Hello Everyone

Confused with the passport name I need to mention on EE form. Mostly Passport Name in INDIA is like Last Name:- <Blank>, and First Name :- <Full Name>. So is my and friend of mine's case as well. Last Name is left blank, and first name contains the "Lakhwinder Singh". Until now, I have kept the form with my last name as "SINGH" in EE application form, and First Name as "LAKHWINDER". But, the form says, fill in the name EXACTLY as mentioned in the passport, and then application form doesn't accept blanks. Cry Should I mention "Not Applicable" in the last name, or I keep it as it is with "Singh" last name?

Please help.

Thanks
Lucky

"exactly" means "dont change the spell"!
Your last name is Singh! Enter it in EE!

Hi i have created and activated my express entry profile in Feb 2015. Since the profile is active; i have twice received notification from CIC website via email that "Your application has been updated. Please sign in to your MyCIC account and check your application status and messages for more information."

When i log in to my CIC profile there is no change in my status or points or anything

Please guide me if that is a system glitch or what?

Hi everyone,

I have also received such notification once...

I have a question, while applying I did show my experience which was all correct but for 2 years I was working with a company only on intensive basis (part time as I had to take care of my little baby at home) I joined that very company on full time basis last year April. Now, when I will apply for PR, will there be a question that I was not getting paid for my job every month until April? I do have a letter from my employer. What all background verifications will be there. I am at 330, what are the chances this year?

"Note: Your test results must be valid when you complete your Express Entry profile, and when you apply for permanent residence."

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/language-testing.asp

So you have to make sure you complete the PR application by the time the IELTS expires. To ensure that this is possible, make sure ALL your documents are ready for ITA. It might be a good idea to schedule the medical exam now. Get all your job letters, police certificates and everything else ready.
