Finally submitted my EE Profile yesterday and got a message/attachment in my CIC account to register with the Job Bank.
Registered on the Job Bank with my EE profile number and JOB CODE. I got a second message and attachment in my CIC account. Part of the message reads "Congratulations! You have been accepted to the Express Entry pool of candidates".
However my Profile/Application Status is still showing "Pending Additional Criteria". I don't know if it usually takes time for the status to change to "OPEN" or there something i have to do?

Is it because of "two post secondary qualifications where one should be at least of three years"?

I have following qualifications:

1-BA (Hons) Business Administration=Equivalent to four years Canadian Bachelor degree. (Assessed by WES)
2-BA (Pass) = Equivalent to two years Associate degree from Canadian University. (Assessed by CES)

It takes a while for it to change to 'open'.
You shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Weird. Pending additional criteria is normal for a new profile.
Check your profile again and see what you missed. Did you use the CRS tool to calculate 364 or u did manually?

it is because, you did a mistake. you have to select two or more with one minimum 3 years or more for both of them.

reference, I checked it earlier in this forum and cic website and personal experience too, and when u update, wait for 24 hours.

when the same thing happened to me, it didn't change even after 24 hours. So. I created a new profile and registered again and all and withdrew the old profile.
