[Express Entry vs CRS Calculator Score] Skill Transferability - Education

Dec 27, 2020

Hi Everyone,

Did somebody encounter wherein their CRS calculator score was different when they applied directly with Express Entry?

My score in the CRS calculator is 444 but when I applied for EE it is 477. I'm quite shocked and happy about this but I don't want to raise my expectations yet since I might just be disappointed as this might be just an error in the system. Also, I don't want to get misrepresented for the input I've done in my application.

Can anyone help me answer about these discrepancies?

1.) Human Capital - Level of Education: I have ECA from WES and my Bachelors in Nursing degree (4 years) back home is counted as Bachelors Degree (3 years) in Canadian equivalency. I also have an 8-month program in International Business Management in Canada (counted as 1-year PGWP). Will my score for this count as 120 or 128?

2.) Skills Transferability - Education: I already have my IELTS (L-8, W-7, R-7, S-7), which is CLB 9. I have more than 4 years of foreign work experience under NOC B, 1221 - Administrative Officers. I read that if you have CLB 9, which is a good/strong official language proficiency, and Bachelors degree equivalency, a post-secondary degree, that gives you the maximum 50 points. So I'm not sure which is which, do I get 50 points as reflected in EE or just 25 points like in the CRS calculator.

If you select 2 or more degrees in education it gives you 128 and 25 additional points for skill transferability.
My guess is you chose bachelor's in crs and two or more in ee
