Hey guys, i'll try to keep this concise so that you will be able to help me more effectively.
A) I submitted my file on 3rd of October 2016. My points were 406 (initially 411 but i lost 5 points due to age), until yesterday.
B) I updated my profile yesterday. I only updated my Canadian education section, which was supposed to get me 30 additional points.
C) Till yesterday, i was getting zero points for Canadian WE, since 6 months of my work done done under my own Inc-operation.
Now, today my file got updated and BOOM! I got an ITA and now my points are 526! Before you congratulate me, i've to say that i'm super confused as to how this happened so i'm sharing some details so that you can help me.
The letter says, "Based on the information you provided us in your Express Entry profile, we are pleased to invite you to apply for
permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class".
Additional points are as follows:
CRS – Human Capital – Canadian Work Experience: Earlier= 0, now =40. ( I've worked for my own Inc (for 6 months out of 12 months required) but i did not check the "self-employed" box at the bottom, since technically i'm working for an Incorporation. I'm calling them on the phone to see if they can clarify if i messed this up or not, but please guide me.)
CRS – Skill Transferability – Education: Earlier=25, now= 50. (No idea why the points jumped since my IELTS was not 8/7/7/7, but 8/6.5/7.5/7.5.)
CRS – Skill Transferability – Foreign Work Experience: Earlier=25, now =50. (No idea how and why. I've 4 years of WE but i was only getting 25 points, since i had 8/6.5/7.5/7.5 in IELTS. I was told here that for me to get 50 points, i'll need 8/7/7/7. So this makes no sense to me)
CRS – Canadian Education- Earlier= 0, now = 30. (this makes sense after recent rules change).
So, i should be happy but i'm more confused than happy right now.
Suggestions/ ideas/ thoughts?
EDIT: just got off the phone and the rep says they don't answer questions w.r.t EE. so its all you guys now!
