Dear friends,

I received my ITA in 12th dec draw, and was waiting for a reference letter from the employer for whom i've been working for last 3 months. I received the same today, but the issue is that they've mentioned my weekly working hours to be 45, whereas i work 48 hours a week. In my express entry profile as well, i had mentioned 48 hours. I tried to talk to them tk change it, but they denied stating it's the maximum we can mention. Now that i have received ITA, I can't change the same in EE profile.
Please help .Should i use this experience letter, or should i decline the invitation, update EE profile mentioning 45 hours and wait for the next draw?

Full time work hours are counted as 30 hrs/week.
IRCC will not count anything more than 30 hours/week
