Express Entry score not showing Canadian education points after submission

Documents Needed

  • Express Entry profile

    Double-check the Canadian education section, especially the language-of-instruction question, for accuracy.

Step-by-Step

An applicant submitted their Express Entry profile but noticed after 4 days that their score wasn't reflecting the points for Canadian education.

What the group suggested:
  1. Edit and retransmit your profile. Resubmitting the profile after making a small edit can sometimes trigger the system to correctly recalculate your score.

  2. Check the device you're using. One response noted that using a phone instead of a laptop can lead to mis-clicks, and specifically flagged the language-of-study question (whether more than half your studies were in a language other than English/French) as one that's commonly answered incorrectly by mistake.


Practical takeaway:
  • Review your Canadian education section carefully, especially the language-of-instruction question, since a wrong answer there can silently zero out points you should be getting.

  • Fill out the profile on a laptop/desktop rather than a phone to reduce input errors.

  • If your score still looks wrong after checking your answers, editing and resubmitting the profile is a reasonable next step.

Dos, Don'ts & Tips

  • Tip: A wrong answer on the language-of-study question is a common reason Canadian education points don't show up correctly.
  • Do: Fill out and review your Express Entry profile on a laptop rather than a phone to avoid input errors.
