Anyone ever got this message from the job bank?
I also received similar kind of e-mails for but this is only asking you to apply for a job, it does not guarantee you a job. However, as per new rule, it is up to a candidate whether or not to create a job bank account.
An employer has looked at a summary of your job seeker profile and would like you to apply to the job posting.

Ray of Hope - 130th Draw
- Thread starter 13nitinsharma
- Start date
I have been awarded points for three years experience before completing my three years. there was no gap in my experience nor have i used incorrect information.
Please let me know if I should choose accept or decline my invitation prior to actual date of completion of my 3 years experience. I want to be on the safe side and I do not wish to have my profile rejected for technical errors like these.
I was at 446 yesterday and when I checked today morning, it says 471. I am due to complete my three years on December 5th.
Any input on this would be helpful.

I actually came here to ask the same. My 3 years would be completed end of December but my score already increased to 473 as of today. Birthday coming up this month as well.
Can anyone suggest how to proceed with this?
Edit: In other words, do I need to have 3 years completed at the time of accepting an ITA or when I submit my application (which is usually 2 months from ITA)? There seems to be a big debate about this in the forums, maybe someone can speak from their own experience.

Long post
Very interesting article as to why crs is rising to 460+.... 1 of the many reasons...
There are basically two main drivers for the rise in CRS points:
1.) Overall awareness of express entry program among potential immigrants
2.) Increase in internatational students who get PG open work permit in Canada
I thought to get some analysis on the actual data:
Facts and figures from Open Data Govt of Canada website
International students just from India:
Year - No. of new Study permits
2015 - 31,940
2016 - 52,670
2017 - 83,060
2018 - 107,290
Based on the above numbers, I will explain why the 2nd category is clearly the biggest force behind the push.
When a student completes his Canadian degree/diploma, s/he gets a 3 year work permit which lets them work for any employer in Canada. The first year of Canadian experience adds roughly 50 points, every year there after adds roughly 15 points.
In the year 2015, even if all 31,940 of the students completed their one year master by 2016, then after that completed their 1 year Canadian experience by 2017, they would take only 31,940 of the ITAs. These students with one year Canadian experience would easily get above 450 points.
Now let us take the student numbers from 2017 - They completed their education by 2018, completed one year Canadian experiency by 2019 July, and now getting in the pool. These are the ex-students who are getting into the pool right now, including getting ITAs in today's draw. You have 83,060 ex-students with Canadian experience from 2017 intake and an ITA target of little bit more than that. You hardly have any extra slots left over. Next year will be even worse with 107,290 students getting in the pool, you actually have more potential CEC candidates than the total ITAs available.
Granted that not all 83,060 would be masters students and not all will have one year experience, but we are talking about only students from India. The total count of students from all over the world in 2017 is... wait of it... 315,540. Yes, enough to take all the ITAs 3 times over. Not all are ideal express entry candidates with Canadian experience so there are some slots still available for those with high CRS. But sooner or later they will start completing Canadian experience as they utilize their 3 year open work permit they earned by completing their Candian degrees.
As we have more of the international students successfully finding jobs and completing their Canadian experience years in the coming months, the CRS will keep climbing.
This is not to discourage anyone, but just an attempt to help explain why the CRS is being driven higher. Based on the numbers you can see next year we will see even more candidates with higher scores completing their Canadian experience. Long term trend of higher CRS is here to stay unfortunately. In 2018 the number of total International students went up from 315,540 in 2017 to 355,800 in 2018 (107,290 from India alone, I emphasize on the India numbers as generally they tend to do masters or post graduate diploma that will count as 2 or more degrees which will get higher points and are very likely to apply for PR). Most of those 355,800 would have completed their canadian course by July 2019 and will be on track to get Canadian work experience by august 2020
I saw this post today on the internet. I guess, this is something to be worried about for other potential immigrants other than students.

You can accept the invitation, however you should wait until you have completed the three years to submit your application.
Birthdays are frozen on the day of the ITA so you would be fine as well.
Thanks for the suggestion! I will still wait till end of Nov to accept an ITA just to be safe, obviously I have to get it first . Even with the Birthday, should be at 467 or so, which is not bad imo. Let's wait for the next draw and see how it pans out and if the score drops. Super excited though!
Unfortunately, I am not sure if it was a correct suggestion. The points awarded by the portal is not some glitch that you need to worry about. The 3 year thing is not absolute. They award points based on set number of hours per week. Mostly people are awarded 3 year points by the end of 2 years and 10 months because of crossing that weekly hours threshold.
Its just that, for me, i started and ended working on the 15th of the months where they are calculating whole months but experience letter states this one month shortage. So I wanted to give atleast that one month time to be covered by my current job.
Trust me, I am waiting since February. Ill accept the ITA asap without putting risk on the application procedure.
Sorry cant comment on your personal situation.. But was telling in general that on completion of continuous 2 year 10 months, one gets points designated for 3 years.
Depending on the score next draw, I might even accept it if it doesn't fall too low. Don't want to miss the opportunity either...hence, all the questions.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but How confident are you with this information? where did you learn about this?
FYI - I put 42 hours working per week when setting up Express Profile.
Congrats. You can accept and your score will be added 600 on the next draw you will revceived cic ITA.I would like to apply, work experienced 2171 but educational attained is Industrial Engineering. Any thoughts??
