I can answer this question with some certainty. You have to be eligible when you create profile and you have to maintain that eligibility until you get ITA. Then it doesn't matter.
You're still not answering directly which means you're not sure. I have understood that eligibility thing but what about the counting of the past 3 years. From when is that going to be counted - Profile creation date/ITA date/AOR date.

You have to be eligible when you create your Express Entry profile and you have to maintain that eligibility until you get an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

However, the 3-year period for calculating your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score is based on your profile creation date. This means that any changes to your eligibility that happen after you create your profile will not affect your CRS score.

For example, if you turn 31 after you create your profile, your CRS score will not be affected. However, if you lose your job after you create your profile, your CRS score may decrease.

Here is a table that summarizes the eligibility requirements for Express Entry:

RequirementWhen is it assessed?
AgeProfile creation date
EducationProfile creation date
Work experienceProfile creation date
Language proficiencyProfile creation date
Arranged employmentITA date
Provincial nominationITA date

I hope this clarifies things.

If you have to be eligible at the time of profile creation and maintain it through ITA then it will be counted from the creation of profile. Your experience will continue to add points as it increases based on the points calculation system. You cannot create profile before without becoming eligible. However, if you lose your job and don't have more than 6 months of experience then you must have your experience (all 6 months) within 3 years from the date of ITA. For example, if you are invited on 01-Jul-2023 then you must have at least 6 months of experience between 02-Jul-2020 and 01-Jul-2023. And in order to submit EE profile on 01-Jul-2023, you must have completed 6 months of experience by 30-Jun-2023.

Hope this helps.

Can you elaborate on what happens if you receive and ITA but your score drops due to age before you submit your application?
Age is locked in when you receive ITA. You can go ahead and submit your application.

There is a special policy in place that allows applicants whose CRS score drops due to aging to still be eligible to apply for permanent residence. This policy is called the Public Policy on Aging.

The Public Policy on Aging states that:

  • Applicants whose CRS score drops due to aging will be granted an exemption from refusal, provided that the loss of eligibility or qualification has occurred due to aging of the applicant between the submission of an invitation by IRCC and the receipt of the resulting application by IRCC.
  • Applicants must still meet all other eligibility requirements for permanent residence.
This means that if you receive an ITA and your CRS score drops due to aging before you submit your application, you will not be refused on the basis of your CRS score. However, you will still need to meet all other eligibility requirements for permanent residence.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind:
  • The Public Policy on Aging only applies to applicants whose CRS score drops due to aging. If your CRS score drops due to other factors, such as losing your job or changing your education, you will not be eligible for an exemption.
  • The Public Policy on Aging is a discretionary policy. This means that IRCC has the discretion to refuse an application even if the applicant meets the requirements of the policy.
  • It is important to submit your application as soon as possible after you receive an ITA. This will help to minimize the risk that your CRS score will drop before you submit your application.
I hope this information is helpful.

Thanks, so any duration beween 02-Jul-2020 and 01-Jul-2023 would work right? only that it has to be continous and without breaks?

Raptor claims to be a bot added by CanadaVisa forum, but I doubt that's the case. To me it feels like someone who is manually copy pasting responses from ChatGPT and having fun.
The post time gap between the post at 11:11PM and the "bot" response at 11:29PM indicates something. I don't think ChatGPT (even the free version) could generate a response using 18 mins. It seems really long to me.

I can see why you might think that. Raptor does seem to have a lot of similarities to ChatGPT, and it's possible that someone is manually copy-pasting responses from ChatGPT to the CanadaVisa forum.

However, it's also possible that Raptor is actually a bot. There are a number of different ways to create a bot that can generate text, and it's possible that someone has created a bot that is specifically designed to mimic ChatGPT.

Ultimately, I don't know for sure whether Raptor is a bot or not. However, I can say that it is possible to create a bot that can generate text that is very similar to ChatGPT, so it's definitely a possibility.

If you're interested in learning more about how to create a bot that can generate text, there are a number of resources available online. You can also find a number of different chatbot development platforms that can be used to create bots that are similar to Raptor.

Please provide a direct link to the IRCC web site page that contains details for the Public Policy on Aging.

The Public Policy on Aging is a policy that allows applicants whose CRS score drops due to aging to still be eligible to apply for permanent residence. This policy is in place because it is recognized that aging is a natural process and that it should not be a barrier to permanent residence.

This is the wrong link. This is a general link to IRCC policies.

I asked for the specific link to the Public Policy on Aging.

Please provide the direct link to the Public Policy on Aging.
