I have a a query, under the express entry profile for the eligibility, I meet the criteria for Canadian Experience Class, but not for the Federal Skilled Worker. When I did the Come to Canada tool, it said that I was eligible under the Federal Skilled Worker Program.
But they have not added my points for the experience I have received in Canada, what should I do about it?

I know that its a glitch at their end, whom should I contact?
It has happened with other guys before too..

It seems that you are putting something that is making you ineligible!

Please check your profile again and look out for any field that might be creating any problemm.. see wrong IELTS result number or ECA report number or Funds or Education fields mostly create this problem..

Hi, I am new to the forum and tried to research the topic, but since there are so many pages written about it, it's a bit hard to go through.
My question is hopefully simple enough.
I have an open work permit as a Canadian University Graduate, so it's not bonded up to any employer or NOC. The problem is that Express Entry does not have the option of "non bonded" work permit, it still asks me to fill out the information in "Intended Work" section. What should I put for "Four digit NOC code of current work permit" if there is none? Also, in the "Experience" Section, the system asks me if "LMIA and work permit were required" for the job. Technically, LMIA was not required as I was on post grad work permit, but I am not sure about CIC terminology and if I fall under any "exeptions" category as I work on post grad permit in banking industry.
Thank you so much for your help in Advance.

thank you so much for a quick reply!
Could you please also clarify what do they exactly mean by "Date **** ***** first became qualified to practice in this occupation?"
is it my graduation date or is it the date I officially started my position?

If you will qualify in the EE, then your old application would be link and connected to your EE profile, you will still be process under fsw .. the main difference is the express processing time..because they have centralized data system... just my thought...

The answer is in your question itself. It asks about the DAY when you became QUALIFIED to practice your profession. Not when you started working in the field.
