A member scoring 70/100 on the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) points grid and a CRS of 478 kept getting an unexpected negative result every time they applied, and asked for help troubleshooting.
What group members advised, as things to double-check:- Recheck the Proof of Funds amount. One member flagged that applicants often get the declared funds figure wrong relative to what's actually required for their family size — this is a common, fixable error.
- Confirm your work experience is continuous and under a single NOC code. Another member pointed out that FSW and CRS work-experience points require at least one continuous year in the same NOC — gaps, role changes, or experience split across different NOC codes can undermine the claim even if the total years look sufficient on paper.
Takeaway: when a strong-looking score keeps producing a rejection or ineligible result, the two most common silent culprits are an incorrect Proof of Funds figure and work experience that isn't truly continuous under one NOC — both are worth auditing carefully against the official requirements before reapplying.
