Hello everyone, I received my gcms notes.
The officer made a note Review required - applicant score has dropped under minimum score for the round.
PA received 50 points for the combination of education and official language proficiency, however he does not meet 21(1)(e).

Does any one know what does 21(1)(e) means

Please help

21. (1) The points that are to be assigned for a combination of the level of education of a foreign national and their proficiency in their first official language, according to their benchmark level as assessed in that language under the Canadian Language Benchmarks or the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens, are the following:

(e) 50 points, if the foreign national has two or more post-secondary program credentials, one of which was issued on completion of a postsecondary program of three years or more, and is assessed in their first official language at level 9 or higher on all language skill areas.

Use the cars tool to check your score they might have muddled your speaking and reading scores or something.

This is weird!! Was the 50 points you received under transferable skill? Why would the system appropriate the 50 points to you when you didn't have a CLB of 9 in language test?

It would help if we know your crs and breakdown of the score per criteria.

What's your score?

I think you should be fine if your score is still higer than one of the required scores of the later draws.

Ok This is scary. I just received an ITA yesterday and I too received 50 points for Skill Transferability. My CELPIP scores are 12, 11, 9 and 8. I too have an ECA'd Bachelor's and a Canadian post secondary certificate. Very similar case as yours. Just wondering whats going on? (Although I have One year Canadian and over 4 Years Overseas Exp)

I found that your score was 490, and in your round the cut-off was 469. I guess your reduced score would be still higher than 450 which was the lowest cut-off in later draws.

So I believe your application is fine and above is why you didn't get rejected, and the note is solely a note. Did you check the status of Eligibility? Maybe it has been Passed.

Eligibility says review required.
I figured out the problem.
The officer is considering bachelors as my highest education credential.

He did not consider the option two or more degree or certificate, one of them should be more than 3 yrs.
I have three ur bachelor with Eca and 2 yr pg certificate from Canadian college.

Not sure why he did that.

Notes says review required in crs point calculation.

If your score after it has been miscalculated is still more than cut-off, it should be fine. But I would suggest you to do CSE with all your explanation made clearly and also, refer to your GCMS notes. That's the quickest way to reach the VO who is handling your case. Take your decision.

I found the CIC calculator kinda weird.
When I applied I put I had 1 year and 10 months of Canadian experience.
When they did the math, they calculated as 2 years and I got a higher score.
I hope that will not affect me.
