Hi All,
A strange thing happened to my EE profile on my birthday.
On the day, I was expecting that my CRS points will go down by a bit as usual but instead I got this message:
You are not eligible for Express Entry
To qualify for Express Entry, you must meet the minimum eligibility criteria for the Federal Skilled Worker
Program, and/or the Federal Skilled Trades Program and/or the Canadian Experience Class. Based on your
profile, you do not meet the minimum eligibility criteria for any of these programs. Reasons you would not be
eligible for Express Entry include:
• not having a valid language test
• language test results that are more than two years old
• a language test score that is too low
• not having enough relevant work experience
• not having the required education level
• not having enough funds
If you still want to come to Canada as a skilled immigrant, you can take steps to improve your qualifications and
register for Express Entry at a later date. For example, you may try to improve your language score or gain a
higher level of education.
You can also apply directly to a province or territory through the http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/apply-how.asp.
Find out more about immigrating to Canada on http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/index.asp
And my application status says "Profile Ineligible" and stands cancelled.
This after I received a PT NOI from Ontario on Feb 1st.
I am in the EE pool since July 2015 and had recreated the profile two times. Once in Dec '15 and again in Feb '16 to trigger the PT NOI from Ontario. BTW, none of the reasons given for rejecting my profile applies.
My profile was never termed ineligible during all this time. I had a CRS score of 429 before my birthday.
What a strange thing to happen. I have some questions:
1. Has anybody experienced anything like this?
2. Can CIC be contacted regarding this and how?
3. I was gathering the documents for OINP to be sent next week and now this has happened. What happens my PT NOI now? I believe it's just not going to be valid anymore.
4. Is just recreating the EE profile and hoping for another PT NOI from Ontario the best way forward?
Would be very helpful to hear some thoughts.
Thanks.
Regards,
Sameer
