Hello everyone!

I just need your advice guys. I am actually confused of what I am going to do if I received the ITA in the next draw.

I have received my Nomination Certificate from AINP and currently waiting for ITA hoping this coming draw.
Here is the scenario....what if, if I got the ITA on April 17 but my IELTS will expire on April 20 and my EE profile will expire on May 5. Do I have to accept the ITA?

I have to retake the IELTS again and my test date will be on April 18. The result will take 5 to 7 days because I chose the computerized IELTS test.

Other suggest that decline the ITA, retake the IELTS and if I got the result, create a new EE profile again since it will be expiring on May 5 but I will request AINP to revise my Nomination Certificate first since the EE profile number mentioned in my Certificate is my old EE profile. This is also applicable if I did not get the ITA before expiry of my EE profile.

Some says that, accept the ITA and update EE once I get the result so that no need to create a new EE profile again but I am worried if I can still update my EE profile after accepting the ITA.

So, whats the best advice that you can give about my situation. I am not really expecting that I can receive the ITA this coming draw considering my IELTS & EE profile is about to expire but I just want to be ready, in case I got the ITA I already know what to do.

If you receive ITA on April 17th, and apply before April 20th, then no issues for IELTS, even if it expires during processing of application. If you apply after April 20 with old IELTS, application will be rejected due to expired IELTS. Once you get ITA, profile expiry date doesn't matter anymore.

If you think you can submit application before April 20th, no worries.
If you don't think you can apply before April 20th, read on...

I agree with the suggestion some have given you. Continue with application now and update profile later with new IELTS. You have 60 days to do that after you receive ITA. Yes you can update language even after ITA. If you get ITA on April 17th, don't worry about profile expiry. The profile expiry date means one should receive ITA before that date.

If your new IELTS score results in a change of CRS score, explain that in LOE.
