Incorrect CRS score for Foreign work experience on EE application

Jan 19, 2018

Dear All,

I have been awarded only 25 points on my express entry profile even though CRS tool showed 50 points for Foreign work experience. I have withdrawn and created a new profile, but still, I got the same score.

Foreign work experience: More than 3 years
NOC code - 2173 Software engineers and designers A

Due to this, my score is at 394 (instead of 419) :-(

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Following is the result of CRS calculator.

Core/Human capital factors
  • Age = 100
  • Level of education = 112
  • Study in Canada = undefined
  • Official Languages = 122
    • First Official Language = 122
    • Second Official Language = 0
  • Canadian work experience = 0
Subtotal - Core/Human capital factors = 334

Spouse factors
  • Level of education = 0
  • First Official Languages = 10
  • Canadian work experience = 0
Subtotal - Spouse factors = 10

Skill transferability factors
Education
  • A) Official Language proficiency and education = 25
  • B) Canadian work experience and education = 0
Subtotal = 25

Foreign work experience
  • A) Official Language proficiency and foreign work experience = 50
  • B) Canadian and foreign work experience = 0
Subtotal = 50

Certificate of qualification = 0

Subtotal Skill transferability factors = 75

Subtotal Core/Human capital + Spouse factors + Skill transferability = 419

Provincial nomination = 0

Job offer = 0

Study in Canada = 0

Sibling in Canada = 0

French-language skills = 0

Subtotal Additional points = 0

Check your answers related to work experience. Especially the one related to number of hours of work per week.

Did you answer 8 or 40?

I actually have it as 45 as my jobs back home were 9 hours a day. Is that going to be an issue? Shall I just change it to 40?

Based on my work experience which is in Canada it is usually 8 hours per day ( 40 hours per week).
In the work experience section of the PR application, that specific field needs to be filled with the number of hours worked per week, not per day.
Standards are different based on the country as far as a full-time job if it is not less than 30 hours hopefully that should be fine.
I am not an expert just stating based on the information on the website (https://www.canada.ca/en/services/jobs/workplace/federal-labour-standards/work-hours.html).

I have the same prespective, but I am confused on why did my foreign score go down when I have more than 6 years of experience.
Thank you
