Work history correct number of years

[vikigenius]

I have claimed my canadian Job to be starting from 2020 September. I also marked the checkbox that says this is my current job. 2 days ago my profile was automatically updated to give me the points corresponding to two years of Canadian experience.

But technically it is not two years yet ? My job started on September 16. I am guessing they consider only the months and see that 2020 September to 2022 August is two years.

Does this even matter? I just received an ITA. What should I do for the proof of work history. The letter says I am currently employed there, I can ask them to update the date to the latest one. But until I wait till September 15th it still would not be 2 years (technically).
Is this going to be an issue?

Did you got PNP or ECE?

I got through the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), I would have qualified for ITA even with only 1 year, but because of the stupid system which does not ask for dates it assumed I have two years and got me extra points.

Go ahead since you did not yourself played with the system and its system which calculated it.

Thanks, I was quite annoyed when I saw my updated score because I don't even need the extra points to qualify for the ITA. I have 564 points now according to my EE profile. If I only consider 1 year, I will have 539 points which is still more than the 533 points required in this draw.

> Accordingly, officers should refuse an application under section A11.2 if it is determined that

• at the time of the ITA or e-APR, the applicant did not or does not meet the MEC, which includes the requirements of the program to which they were invited to apply; or
• the applicant’s recalculated CRS score has fallen below that of the lowest-ranked candidate invited to apply in that round of invitations.
