Canadian Experience Class

[jamejka1903]

Hi Everyone
I need advice on points for Canadian Experience Class. Today I logged into my Express Entry profile and my points went from 422 to 507. I am very happy but the problem is that I received the points for having 1 year experience in Canada - even though this will only be true on August 8(started my job Aug 8 2016). It is correct on my Work Experience but how come CIC already assigned me points even though 1 year did not pass? Now I don't know if with next round shall I accept ITA if it comes or wait until August 8th.
Anybody else with similar issue?
Thanks a lot for help

This is very usual issue, it is because system calculates experience on monthly basis instead of day wise. It's always better idea to apply when you have attained year experience as that would be safe.

Hope it helps!

Hmmmm
Thanks for reply. I have created profile last November because I am also eligible for FSW so did not expect this will happen.

Because it is now July, the system is counting July as a full month of work experience that has been completed: August-July = 12 months = 1 year. You should decline any ITA before you have 1 year of work experience by next month.
