Hello,
I have just submitted my Express Entry PR application. I was very close to the deadline disclosed in the ITA letter, I confused the timezones, believing it to be Canadian EST, when it was actually UTC. I exceeded the 12am deadline (at the beginning of the day) by ~1 hour.
The option to complete the application was still enabled and I paid the fee. I have received a confirmation letter saying "confirms that your application for permanent residence in Canada was received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) through your account on <date>". All the wording says that they've created the file for the application and "We are reviewing your application to determine if it meets the requirements of a complete application according to Section 10..."
So my Application says "submitted" in my IRCC account and the letter indicates it's been received and will be reviewed.

- If the invitation had expired and my profile was removed from the pool, should I have received a notification from IRCC for that?
- Or has it allowed me to pay the feed, given me a confirmation letter only for my profile that is NOT in the pool anymore?
- Should the profile have been disabled to stop me applying if the invitation expired?
