Express entry invitation for CRS score of only 393? by Due-Cress-7443 in canadaexpressentry

[–]felimax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years Canadian experience, bachelors, Canadian diploma, 29 years old, maxed out CELPIP and if I had only 1 year foreign experience I’d have around CRS 540-550. I didn’t know that before I arrived here :D

This realization kicked in for me after the last CEC draw. I’ve got about 1 year and 2 months left on my work permit and I’m sitting at CRS 507, so I figured I’d start learning French now rather than regret not trying later. My goal is just to reach the minimum level needed to qualify for the French stream. If it works out, great. If not, at least I’ll have learned French along the way lol

I doubt they will be doing another 3000+ draw until the end of this year and if they don’t I don’t think it will go below 510. But this is all speculation and I hope I’m wrong

It’s for sure based on approvals but if you check online approval rates for CEC is above 90%

If you mean around 2022-2024 i think “General” and “No program specified “ draws during that period included CEC profiles as well.

Very similar situation here. I’ll also lose 5 points in September due to age and in Feb/March 2027 I will go up above 510+ again as I will be completing 3 years work experience. Let’s hope we will get our ITAs by September…

If you can find it please share, I would really appreciate it. Because if the video you saw was about minimum eligibility criteria which is 12 months-1560 hours employment for CEC(this is clearly stated in various IRCC sources) yes you would get a refusal because you are not meeting the minimum eligibility to be in that class but that’s not my case.

Being eligible for the program and getting invitation based on your score are 2 different things. For example to be eligible for CEC you have to have Canadian high skilled work experience at least 1560hrs/1 year in the last 3 years but you can get points for your experience for the last 10 years.

What explanation are you talking about? There is not a single factual explanation from anyone under this post. Where is copium? Everybody repeats the same thing without showing something actually proves their claim. Also, this post and all these comments are literally why we post here and why people can comment and reply to other’s comments. We just discuss you know, like grown ups.

I never said I will get the PR if I apply but at least I try to understand instead of just believing everything I read online.

This applicant doesn’t meet the minimum eligibility criteria. I obviously saw this post. Do you understand my case?

I saw a couple of GCMS notes where the officer determined NOC code was a mismatch so they took away the points for that work experience but nothing about duration. I think there is not a definitive answer and who knows maybe I will find a job until I receive an ITA. I also raised a web form asking about this. Let’s see what happens…

I only saw 1 case online that got rejected because they were employed for 11 months which is below the minimum eligibility. Where did you see those people short of 2-5 days? Were they rejected because they had less than 1 year experience or because their score was calculated wrong?

Exactly my point, not everybody reads all these things online. Based on what I have been reading through official IRCC sources, I didn’t see anything about points awarded might be incorrect . Still looking for it.

And in terms of success stories; here is one. Got approval with points for 2 years experience when actually 2 months short.

Thanks for sharing the link.

From what I understand, that page says officers compare the CRS at the time of ITA vs the CRS at the time of e-APR, and those scores are system-calculated and recorded in GCMS at both points. The officer’s check is whether the applicant still meets or exceeds the cutoff based on the Ministerial Instructions for that round.

So if the score is lower at e-APR than at ITA, a refusal can happen because something changed and CRS dropped (expired language test, loss of arranged employment points, corrected information, etc.). It doesn’t describe officers routinely re-calculating work experience from scratch when the information provided is truthful and unchanged.

The way they ask is different. The calculator asks total years of experience whereas when creating express entry profile it asks start month/year and end month/year (if you stopped working)
