He has 76 FSW points post adjustment I guess, so he could easily pass the CRS. Also its mentioned that "R75:FSW minimum requirement - Appears met" so I dont think there is a problem there. I asked him to share the RR comments, which we still need to see to reach at a conclusion.
FSW points is different from CRS points. So his FSW minimum requirements can be met while his CRS score is still in question. The case analysts comments was in the first message he posted.

I typed a response yesterday when you tagged me but it's disappeared. (I only just searched for it and didn't find it).
To answer your question the RR is for your education points (not POF, that 'review funds' was a comment and not the reason for the RR).
The case analyst has adjusted your points to only a bachelor's degree and not 2 or more certificates. Because both certificates were running concurrently.
Confirm that you still have not points than the cut off for the round with which you applied.

If you don't, at this point there's not much you can do. You can hope the officer overlooks this and approves your file (which I hope for) or you start preparing for the worst case of a PFL (procedural fairness letter) or rejection and possibly reapplying later.

That's just the worst case for if your CRS points are below the cut off for when you applied. If it's not, then there's nothing to worry about. It'll be cleared by the officer when he attends to your file.
Good luck.

Making a slight edit to the line in bold. what I meant to type is:
'Confirm that you still have more points than the cut-off for the round with which you applied'.
By points, I mean your CRS score.

With just One degree, I would have a CRS of 435, which wont be sufficient to get across. Are you sure that they wont give me the credentials of 2 or more degrees/certificates if done concurrently?

I'm not stating that you won't get points for it, but that's what the case analyst has implied. The final decision is up to the Officer.

Though by terminology FSW and CRS are different, they are linked as well. A Sharp drop in ones CRS will also hamper the FSW (can move below 67 ), and that my point.

I did not see the earlier post, so that's why not aware about the comments.. Apologies !!

No. .
So long as you have a post secondary school degree, you qualify for education points under FSW (minimum requirements).
But for CRS scores, your points depends on whether you have just a Bsc, two or more degrees, and Msc, etc.

Yes, I hope so too.
Because this phrase under CRS skill transferability factor makes it look bad.
"Two or more post-secondary program credentials AND at least one of these credentials was issued on completion of a post-secondary program of three years or longer".
Fingers crossed that you'll get to share your PPR news soon.

You are not getting My point -
Will only the post secondary enables to you meet the minimum requirements for FSW , with other factors which are not in favour (age, experience etc .) ? No.
Does a two or more year degree help you score more on FSW points (and CRS) = Yes
So an FSW point indication of 76 may not always mean that you passed the cutoff of a particular round, but it does sometimes.

This is what I was about to write. He still has the assessment for two certificates. And the officer shall pass it, if he is not ultra unlucky !!

I just read my WES report again, and it says that I have a college level certificate (1year) and a college level degree (4 year). I have no clue why would the case officer ignore that. Its just bad.
