Help regarding making changes after ITA

[thufaylejamal]

Hi everyone,

I was recently invited under CEC and I have 553 points. I received my ITA last week and I'm about to start the application. I just realized I made a couple of mistakes on my express entry profile.

1) I answered "yes" to the question "Do you have a valid job offer in Canada" and mentioned "no" to the next question which was "is there a positive LMIA on this". So technically I did not claim any additional 50 points for this and has NO effect on my CRS score.

2) My mother's cousin brother lives in Canada and I thought him as a relative and answered "yes" to the question "do you have any relatives in Canada". However this did not grant me any points as the extra points is only for siblings.


I've seen people make these mistakes here and I've heard that submitting an LOE would be fine since it does NOT affect my CRS score at all. I just wanted to see if the LOE should do the work for me because rejecting the ITA is very tricky given the current situation.

Just really worried. Would love to hear your advice/experiences.

I think you're good to go. Just don't forget to make a proper letter of Explanation, clearly stating you made mistake while making EE profile. Since there is no EFFECT on your CRS you can accept the invitation.

thanks for the reply. So should I modify the changes to “no” and then proceed with the LOE or just not make changes and submit the LOE?
also worried if I say “no” and there is no doc requirement where I would be submitting the LOE?

How did you get 553 points without LMIA and siblings' points? Do you have French CLB 7?

No LMIA and no siblings. I got CLB 10 in my CELPIP, have 3 years of Canadian work experience and one year foreign experience. If you have these three you get additional 30 or 40 points I don’t remember how much exactly but yes. That’s how I got 553.
