I have recently created an Express Entry profile but after submittal on every occasion (4 in total) got a CRS score of 0 with the same message;

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.

Can anyone help me understand what can be the other reasons, apart from making mistakes during the application?
Is it advisable to retake my IELTS and TEF and get a higher mark? any suggestions are welcomed, below is my profile in brief;
31/M Married - 2 kids/ 2 and 6 yo - bachelor's degree (ECA assessed) - 8 years work experience / last 3 as a sales manager (construction/projects)
IELTS - L:7- R:6.5 - W:6.5 - S:7 (went with 0 preparation)
TEF - L:C1- R:C1 - W:B1 - S:C1 (totally screwed my essays)
Spouse 31/F - Pharma B (non ECA assessed - no IELTS nor TEF taken)

Thanks!
B.M

I assume you put your wife as non accompanying. You should retake your IELTS. Your TEF scores are too low for any points. Was your bachelors assessed as a 3 year. Your 8 years of experience are all skilled?

You've probably answered an question wrong. Review your answers you've provided for the questions asked during your profile creation.

A common mistake for example is people answering yes for a questions which asks if your qualification was more than 50% an English or French language course.

during filling the forms I was asked every time about my wife's name, DOB, language skills, study, etc... I am confident I chose 'yes' for accompanying spouse. I agree, IELTS and TEF should be taken again. my bachelors assessed as 4 year and yes my 8 years experience were all skilled full time jobs.
Another question, if I may, which is not related to this forum; I will also receive the comparative evaluation of my bachelors for Quebec where I also would like to try my luck, is it advisable to wait for the new, hopefully, better language test scores or I can go ahead and apply through Arrima?
Sorry in advance if I sound not knowledgeable on these topics because I really am, it is pretty new to me and I try to do it all by myself.
Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the reply. Yes on my second attempt I noticed this point; of choosing English or French as main language (not preferred correspondence language) but the one to be calculated for the final score. with both options chosen on 2 separate applications, still I received the same 0 score. but if you are mentioning another thing then I will take note of it and check again.

IF you put her as accompanying then she needs IELTs and ECAs. That is why you are zero.
