Did you put your ECA and IELTS reference numbers in the application?

They must have sent you an email with a pdf file and it contains all the information. Check that file and see what you missed to enter.

i also put that I am bringing 14000 dollars with me
Proof of funds depends on applicant + number of dependents. You can check about funds at https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

Yeah, I have the email. On it, they just gave me most reasons why people usually don't qualify for express entry such as a low score, not enough funds,...

Hold on for a moment.
First, I think you're mixing up a few things. So to better understand your specific situation, you need to make the eligibility calculation yourself.
CRS score doesn't define eligibility. That's just to rank eligible candidates against each other in the pool.
Eligibility is based on the six selection factors, more commonly called FSW points. To be eligible, you need to have 67 out of 100 points. Check here:
https://www.canadim.com/express-entry/federal-skilled-worker/selection-factors/

If you're sure you have 67 or more, well now at least you know it's something you're doing wrong in the EE profile. Check your FSW points first, and let's take it from there.

Also, do know that 14,000CA$ is only good for a single family member. If you're married, spouse accompanying or not, you'll need at least 15,531CA$.

Yeah, but when you create your express entry profile, they asked you to answer to some question in order to verify your eligibility. So I think if I didn't qualify I should have been stop at that level.

No not necessarily. The "Am I eligible" questionnaire you fill in is not as detail-oriented as the Express Entry profile itself.
For example, it doesn't ask if you have an ECA, exact dates of employment, NOC, etc...
Do the eligibility calculation manually, and start from there to troubleshoot, to be 100% sure you're eligible. If you are, then you know for sure it's just something in your EE profile, and nothing else. Crucial first step...

Ok, I did it and based on it I have 70 points out of 100. I think I know whats the mistake I did. I choose the wrong noc, because the one I took is in category c, while I am working in a telecommunication company as a commercial agent. I wanted to take noc 6221 from the beginning, but I thought that you need to have a degree from a technical field in order to qualify for that noc

Well there you go.
Like I said, because the questionnaire didn't ask for NOC, it can't figure out if you're indeed in category 0,A, or B, as that's what you need to have to qualify. The questionnaire relies mostly on your knowledge of how the system works, and doesn't filter you in or out like the Express Entry profile does.
It would only come up once you enter the NOC code in Express Entry profile.
It's usually also the next element to investigate after ECA and language results, in situations where profile is rendered ineligible when submitted.

yeah, I was able to change the noc, and the application went through. I hope now that I choose the right one.
