Great you found the issues.

You should answer "no" to the job offer question. You can only claim these 50 points if your employer gets an approved LMIA.

Are on on a Lmia exempt permit? You can’t count your job offer until you have one year of Canadian experience.

I am on LIMI Exempt work permit. Thank you indeed for the clear details. I will wait till end of march and will submit the profile only after gaining 1 year of canadian experience.

 

[seze88]

Here's the solution that worked for me..

Since you are hoping to qualify for just the FSW and not CEC.. pretend like you are applying from outside Canada and completely ignore your Canadian work experience since it's not up to a year and does not help your application anyways.

So answer "Do you have a valid Job offer" as "No" if you don't have an LMIA.. and then don't even include the Canadian work experience in the Work Experience section if it's not up to a year.. only foreign experience.

Hi guys,

the same is happening to me. I made like 4 profiles and every time it says I’m ineligible and gives me a zero 0 in everything.
However, I have my two year diploma from here, 1 year work experience, my siblings are Canadian citizens.
Can it be that I have 5.5 in reading band? Or is it okay to have below 6 in one band and other bands are above 6? Please let me know.
I just want to make the profile and need to apply for PNP. My ielts test is again in two weeks but I want to apply for PNP so obviously need to make the profile.
Please help me here.

What TEER of job? Need your full profile?

 

[Braykhna Khan]

You need 67 eligibility points. Do you have that? You need CLB 7 in all bands so not eligible with 5.5.

I have 5.5 in reading in IELTS. Not CLB. Yes, of course I qualify for the minimum points. My education is from here with work experience. Plus siblings points also include along with a job offer.
So what am I doing wrong?

Is it because I need to score above 6 in each band in IELTS?
