Notice – Questions and answers: Changes that affect Federal Skilled Worker applications

Q4. What does a "decision based on selection criteria" mean?
A "decision based on selection criteria" means that an immigration officer:

has assessed your FSW application against the points grid, and
has made a decision on whether or not you meet the selection criteria of the program.
Currently, the pass mark is 67 points out of a grid worth 100 points. The grid considers the person's:

ability in English and/or French
education
work experience
age
whether they have a job already arranged in Canada (arranged employment), and
how well they might adapt to living in Canada (which awards points for things like previous work or study in Canada, spouse's education and relatives in Canada).
If your application is successful, you would move to the next phase (i.e. admissibility). At that point you would be checked against health, security and criminality requirements before being allowed to enter Canada.

If you do not score at least 67 on the FSW points grid, your application would be refused and CIC would inform you of the decision.

I got my CAIPS notes and my current ECAS status is RBVO pending review.

Aside from the age, which I have been given 10 points, all other points criteria are noted as "not started"

is this normal?

do i now fall under this new rule - decision whether or not you meet the selection criteria of the program?
