Checking 'All Provinces' shouldn't pose an issue - it's only if you only check 'Quebec' I think. But, you can try unchecking 'Quebec' and checking all individual provinces and territories EXCEPT Quebec to see if that resolves the issue...

Do it right away. Express Entry profiles aren't applications .They're 'expressions of interest' - the application comes after you receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) based on that expression of interest

Hello, I had already submitted my EE profile for the pool and I met the FSWP with 457 points. However, when I went back to my application and edited my work form and then resubmitted, I was suddenly found ineligible... Do you guys know why?

This is a very weird issue because at first I was accepted into the pool and when I edited my application it told me I was ineligible.. Any response will be appreciated! Looking forward for you reply..

Thanks in advance!
