Why federal skilled worker not met, but CEC met?

I've applied under the express entry. I had done this before and when I submitted my profile, it would say I've met the requirements for the federal skilled worker but the rest (provincial nominee program, Canadian experience class, federal skilled trades) would say 'NOT MET'. However, due to a problem with my degree equivalency, eventually my profile was rejected.

Now I've submitted it again. For the federal skilled worker, I score 67 out of 100. I meet the English language test minimums, the minimum education level, experience, my age is right, etc. And my overall points is in the high 400s.

However, now it's saying:
Federal Skilled worker: not met
Provincial nominee program: not met
Canadian experience class: met
federal skilled trades: not met

I don't understand why the change. I need to apply as a federal skilled worker and not the CEC due to the minimum work requirements for the CEC (1 year in Canada, of which I'm short 10 days).

If anyone can understand what's going on and explain it to me, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

The system accepts a date in months for the experience. So, you might get 1-year experience on 31 March 2017, but as you entered your start work on Mar 2016. It will assume March 1 2017, that you have 1 year experience. It's a system glitch.

Moreover, it gives preference to CEC over any other.

Remove the Canadian work exp and put it in personal history after ITA. This way you will qualify for FSW only. It looks like if you qualify for both they are always putting people as CEC.

The minimum required funds were updated about a month ago.

I realized that after I submitted my first profile yesterday. I started working end of March, and then realized it's giving me extra points for a one-year Canadian work experience. So I changed my start date to April (hadn't realized I can edit my profile so I withdrew and submitted a new one) . Still got the same number of points. So then I changed another date: I left my old job in mid-oct and started a new job right away, so I thought maybe the system's counting October twice. This time, I edited my profile and changed the start of my new job to November (so April to October, then Nov to current). Yet I still get the points for one-year of Canadian work experience. The system's so confusing. They should just allow for precise dates and be done with it. I spent more than an hour trying to figure out what my dates are because of this. You'd think after so long the Canadian government would come up with an intelligent UX and input options, but nope.
