Is LMIA CSR points still valid if I loose points for my education(ECA)?

[jaybe]

Dear Experts,

I am CEC inland and applied PR with 600 points from my LMIA and rest from education etc. Total points achieved 962, cutoff was 564 at the draw.

LMIA Job offer = 600 points
International Degree= 120 Points
Other Points = 242 Points(Job experience, age, etc)
Total = 962

Due to my ECA is showing not valid in my GCMS notes(the ECA done in 2013 which I submitted shows not valid). What will be the points I will be loosing if officer will recalculate my points?

Am I loosing only 120 points or I will be loosing 600 for my LMIA as well(because my LMIA shows required College diploma)?

Please share your thoughts.

Thank you!

There is no education requirement for Canadian Experience Class. But, if you want to earn points for your education under Express Entry, you need to get ECA done for your foreign degree. In your case, it would not have been a problem, but your LMIA states that you need to have a college diploma for the job. So in my personal opinion, this could pose a problem. Would suggest you to get a latest ECA completed.

To know how this could impact your score, use the CRS score calculator tool http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
