IMPORTANT — IRCC PITFALL

When entering your TEF Canada scores in Express Entry, you MUST use the "Previous Score Equivalency" column from your LFDA certificate, NEVER the raw score /699. IRCC documents this as a possible reason for refusal. The app reminds you of this pitfall during onboarding and when displaying your results.
