I find all the parameters relevant and there is no point to make your profile ineligible. Just check if you have entered the dates correctly.

This is reflective of a trend: well qualified potential applicants finding themselves ineligible and it being traced to the 67 point FSW requirement. There's clearly an absence of good guidance from CIC on those criteria if so many people are asking the question. It seems to be applicants who are close to the 67 points that are affected most - which suggests to me that in fact and in practice, the requirement might be higher than 67. I also understand that people who entered the pool based on their Canadian work experience are being given ITAs under FSW - even though they would be ineligible for FSW itself. More signs that eligibility is weighted in favour of CEC - which is Canada's prerogative, but just don't try to kid people otherwise.

I faced the same problem and found the fix. The system only counts the experience in one NOC for eligibility - the NOC you mentioned as your primary occupation. Please check that you have enough experience in your primary occupation NOC added in your profile.

It's true that people who qualify for both FSW and CEC are given FSW invitations - and I am an example of that. But we do have to qualify under FSW!
