Change in CRS post completion of ITA forms

[RISHIFERRARI20]

Hello All, okay new issue!!!
I received my ITA (my CRS 444, cut-off 439). I accepted and filled all the forms, they all now show 'complete'. However, before submitting I clicked on the 'Preview CRS' button at the bottom of the page and to my shock it shows 451. I know this is wrong because it has given me 135 points under education instead of 128. My ITA has 128. I also see where the problem is, but I am not sure if it is a bug.

I have done a 3 years Bachelor's degree and a 2 years Master's degree in India. In Canadian equivalency, they are 4 years bachelor's and 1 year of post graduate diploma (instead of a master's degree, and hence 128 instead of 135). I chose the latter while submitting my express entry profile and it correctly calculated my CRS to be 444. But now, when I looked into the pre-filled education entry under 'personal history' section, the degree has defaulted to a Master's degree. I tried to change it back to '1 year post graduate diploma' from the drop down, but that option does not exist in the drop down!!!

So, just to clarify, I already know where the problem is. I just need to know the solution. I saw a bunch of other posts with the same issue. But anyone has a resolution? Should I go ahead and submit as is and explain in LoE?

You need to use what your WES ECA states as "Canadian Equivalency"

Yes, but as I said that option does not exist in the drop down.

will you be able to delete and re-add (in each section individually as required)? am sure a lot has changed on the site form since I last applied.

But even when I delete and add the entry, the drop down options are the same. There is no "1 year post graduate diploma" option to select.

In the absence of any solution, know that the IRCC analyst will correct the education to what is accurate according to them and the resulting score if above the cut-off will be considered.

Does WES mention "1 year post graduate diploma" under "Canadian Equivalency" ?

If unable to resolve or find a better solution, do explain the situation in your Letter of Explanation. Good Luck !

Yes, they do. I am going to include this in my LoE
