Not eligible for Express Entry

[kmcl925]

I tried to submit an application for Express Entry today and was immediately found not eligible. When filling out the questionnaire it said that I was eligible. I currently live and work in Canada under a post-graduate work permit. I have 2+ years of NOC B work experience and still employed by this company. I completed a 2-year study program here in Canada. I'm trying to figure out the reasons why I was deemed ineligible. The letter which I received had these bullet points

Below are a few examples of why a candidate will be found ineligible:
• not having a valid language test,
• language test results that are more than two years old,
• a language test score that is too low,
• not having enough relevant work experience,
• not having the required education level,
• not having enough funds.

Any advice anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have IELTS score? Have you taken the IELTS exam?

That will only apply for FSW EE. He can go for CEC EE where he wont need to fulfill that criteria. He has two years of canadian noc b exp.

I think CLB 4 in Reading is working against you.

Minimum requirement for all abilities :

FSW CLB 7
CEC CLB 5 FOR NOC B.

Yeah, I was thinking of retaking the test to improve my score, but these other bullet points have me wondering if there was something else.
• not having enough relevant work experience,
• not having the required education level,
• not having enough funds.

Well, yeah its frustrating to decode what tool is trying to say but you can see one road block right away.

 

[kmcl925]

If I'm reading this correctly I need at least a CLB of 5?

Yeah, it's frustrating, normally I'm really good at figuring this kind of stuff out.

 

[kmcl925]

Is there any other programs that I may be eligible for?

 

[EscoBlades]

Yes I took CELPIP

• Listening 8
• Reading 4
• Writing 7
• Speaking 7

That 4 is what is holding you back it seems. Retake the test to try and bump your Reading up
