GOT 522 SCORE ON CRS BUT WHEN EXPRESS ENTRY PROFILE CREATED -ITS SHOWING ME ONLY 472

[Ricky94]

Hello

I need your help, advice, and suggestions.

I am in Canada and have been working as a tech support advisor for more than a year. I created my Express Entry profile on December 31, 2022. When I checked my CRS score, it was around 522. Today we had an express entry draw and the cutoff was 509, but I have not received any emails regarding it. Then I decided to check my profile, and when I checked my EE profile, they gave me only a 472 score.
I am a bit confused now. Do I need to update my profile, or am I doing something wrong here?


Thank you all for your time.

Did you count a job offer of 50 points? Are you on a closed work permit? Do you have a LMIA to count the 50 points.

I have one job offer, and I've been at the same job for a year. I also had a year-long experience in India. Its a open work permit classified as PGWP

So you don’t get 50 points for that. Did you think you did? You answer NO in your profile to job offer unless you have a LMIA. If you were counting 50 points then you deduct that and you have 472.

PGWP is typically exempt from LMIA, to the best of my knowledge, correct?

PGWP is an open work permit. You do not count 50 points unless you have a LMIA. So in your profile, you answer NO to job offer as your job offer is not tied to your work permit. You would answer NO that an employer is not named.
