Hello all,

I have a question regarding my express entry profile.

I started my job in April 2022 during my work permit applied status, I got my work permit in June 2022. In my express entry, I mentioned my start date as April 2022.
My express entry score with two years of experience is 511, however as March started so system has updated my score to 522(total three years of experience).

To mentioned, I visited my home country for two months(those two months experience would not count into account). Now if the draw happen in the March then I am suspecting I will get my ITA with three years of experience (which actually including those two months as well). What should I do in this case? should I change my starting job date to May?

If you went outside the country for two months then your work experience is separated into different sections so your profile should not be counting those months.
