Hello, I am having a weird problem regarding my eligibility under FSW. I wrote CELPIP on March 15, and my score is Listening 11, Reading 12, Writing 9, and Speaking 9. According to CIC website, this score is CLB 9. I have a two years Master's degree from Canada. When I was checking my eligibility, the come to Canada tool said I am not eligible. However, in my calculation, I have over 67 points. Let me break it down for you.

First Language Ability 24 points (CLB 9)
Second Language ability 0 points
One year skilled work experience 9 points
Age 12 points (27 years old)
Education 23 points (Masters degree)
Adaptability 5 points (Two years study in Canada)

Total 73 points.

Now, I just tried replacing CELPIP score with similar IELTS score (CLB 9). When I replaced CELPIP score by IELTS score, it says you are eligible. I don't really understand what to do now. I should have 450 points according to the express entry system. I did not think the points will go down to this level this soon. I want to fill my application up ASAP.

I would like to have your kind advice.

The come to Canada wizard said we were ineligible. It was wrong.

Yep, same here. Although I'm less sure that it's a bug.
Keep reading, it says that if you think you are elegible, create the profile. Make sure tou answer correctly .
