According to IRCC’s operational manual, Express Entry: Assessing an electronic application on seetion ALL,2, CRS points for additional factors can only be awarded if the Canadian educational credential is from a DL and aligns with PGWP eligibility requirements at the time of eAPR submission, However, in the current CRS system, there is no specific option to indicate whether the Canadian educational credential is from a PGWP-eligible program. This omission will prevent some applicants fom accurately reporting their educational background in a way that aligns with the criteria stated in Express Entry: Assessing an electronic application on section ALL.2. To ensure transparency and consistency in the evaluation of educational credentials under Express Entry, we kindly request 02284
