I started my skilled job in March, 2014 full time. yesterday i got an update in my EE profile that I am already eligible for CEC and FSW. it also awarded me for 1 yr exp. points (35). my hours are already more than 1560 hours. but its not 1 year yet. I guess the system is counting march to feb 1 year. anyhow it worked well for me. but I didn't receive any email saying that I am in the pool. Does everyone get an email saying they are in the pool? any thoughts on this situation experts.

Tell us what you are filling in firstly. Also have you done the ECA? without that EE profile is incomplete.
Only add education for which you have done the ECA.

A question for EE for the education and work experience sections:

Q1) Do I need to mention my high school certificate or work experience that I know won't get me any points?

Q2) Would skipping these details be seen as misrepresentation?

I am planning for CEC Express Entry
I have a master degree in Canada, and bachelor degree from back home, (I have not yet evaluate my bachelor degree), Also I have 1 year canadian experience
During EE profile questionnaire, I mentioned that I have bachelor from back home, however, when it is asking whether the bachelor is evaluated or not I chose "NO". Surprisingly, I saw the following scores, ( Apparently my unevaluated bachelor degree is recognized)

Skill transferability- Education: 50
Skill transferability- Foreign work experience : 0

I updated the education part, this time I chose "Yes" for the evaluation of bachelor, with a fake report number, I saw no changes in the score.
I am confused now whether I really need to evaluate my bachelor degree or not as I see no changes in score?
your suggestion is appreciated.

For question 13, about the date you qualify for the job, is it the date you started to work in Canada or the date you first started working in the field? For example if you were a computer programmer and had been working in the UK for 10 years and then moved to Canada last year. Do you put down Feb 2005 or Feb 2014?

Just want to make sure I understand this correctly. Thanks!
