I feel like you're not really understanding what i'm saying...

This is the scores I received: CRS – Skill Transferability – Foreign Work Experience : 25

And we know that, you are awarded 25 points if you have 3+ years of work experience with "CLB 7 or more on all first official language abilities, one or more under 9" OR for 1-2 years of experience with "CLB 9 or more on all four first official language abilities".

You are asking, if I only have 2 years work experience, how did I claim points for 3 ?

Well:
The discrepancy is with my work hours. I have a lot of hours/week in my jobs so the system calculated the total number of hours and it is more than what is normally needed for 3 years of work experience (even though I actually only have 2 years work experience). So my scores will be different once assessed properly by an officer and not the online system (which is a software). And so I will get 13 points on my CRS – Skill Transferability – Foreign Work Experience instead of the 25 points I was given at first.
I understood what you said look

1. I think you also know that you must work 30 hrs a week to claim your work exp as full time. If you are working above 30 hrs for example 40 that will not give you 3 yrs of work exp points in 2 yrs. (I think you understand this so lets move forward)

2. You got 25 points because of system. Originally you know that you are getting 13.

3. So now you want to make 13 into 25 by reappearing in IELTS to get CLB 9 in all levels.

4. And you have no guarantee that you will be able to get CLB 9.

5. As far as my knowledge is concerened you cant change your IELTS results after getting ITA. Because that is one thing with ECA you have to provide before creating your EE profile. And also your profile gets locked after ITA.

6. The reference number you have given in your profile is of that result in which you got CLB 8 in listening and IRCC checks it on british council website.

7. Let suppose even if you get CLB 9 in all levels you will not be able to give reference number of your result. If you provide scan copy of that result it will not match with the number you have given in your EE profile.

So it automatically disqualify you. Look as far as work exp is concerned if it is of 2 yrs 11 months and system give points for 3 yrs one can submit his E-APR after getting 3 yrs of work exp. But IELTS and ECA should be done prior to the date of receiveing ITA.

If you want to do it like you are thinking than there are 99% of chances you will get rejected. And for example if the score fall to 408 in next draw you will not get ITA then because you have already accepted one. The choice is yours now.

Job #1:
Duration: 3 months
Hours/Week: 52

Job #2:
Duration: 1 year
Hours/Week: 52

Job #3: (current job)
Duration: 9 months
Hours/Week: 40

So in total: 4716 Work Hours

3 years of work experience = 4680 Hours

Note: 52 hrs/week because I was working 6 days a week :)


Also:
7. Let suppose even if you get CLB 9 in all levels you will not be able to give reference number of your result. If you provide scan copy of that result it will not match with the number you have given in your EE profile.
Of course you can, when you receive your ITA you must provide supporting documents in your PRA (Permanent Residency Application), there, in the official Languages section, you can re-enter IELTS scores and the IELTS certificate number, so of course there is a way to verify it :)

In any case, I will decline the invitation and start a new EE profile with all the new data again, just to avoid any unnecessary mix-ups.

If you want 3 yrs of work exp you need to work 3 yrs any working hour above 30 is not counted.

Person A working 30 hrs a week. Work exp dec-2014 to dec- 2017 will get 3 yrs points

Person B working 60 hrs a week. Work exp dec-2014 to june 2016. Even his hrs are same as person A but he will get points for 1 yr only.

Person B has to work till dec-2017 to get 3 yrs of work exp

What his case prove is a bit glitch in the system. Because part time job statement (where you have 15h per week work experience during 2 years and all that is counted as 1 year), they set up the system in the way to actually count hours instead of just months.
In his case, because he has so many hours per week and there also very know month glitch (where system will take for granted whole starting month and whole finishing / current month, regardless of the reality), he got identified with work experience of 3 years . Hence the wrong calculation there resulted in his ITA.
But the problem is, that after AOR one of the things, that officer will check is A11.2. So they will identify the reality and the application will get rejected.
The main problem is that at the moment of ITA his real points did not meet min. CRS. And yes he can get better IELTS score (like sit one test soon), but result of that test was not yet valid at the moment of ITA.
So that is his problem.
The only possibility would be to appeal against his IELTS result in order to land CBL 9 in listening. Would have be successful, only than he would have a proof valid at the moment of ITA (because if you appeal and you get correction, you have your score corrected and then it can be counted as got at the time of writing your IELTS).
But the chance to get correction on listening is almost non existent (that one is evaluated by computer with very little writing there).

Thanks for your help, I've declined the invitation and withdrawn my EE application. I have an IELTS test scheduled for 13th of May, I will make a new EE profile after I receive the grades for that one. I think that's the safest way to play this :)

Here is the good news. If you manage to get those 4x9 CBL in IELTS, not only you get additional points for work experience transferability but also for education transferability (and if you have 2 university diplomas - which I think you have), you will suddenly get another 25 points there as well, so your application will jump to 445 and next year even to 470 (or 465 if you loose first points for your age).

So you have lot to gain with new language test.

But you should remain in the pool with 408 you never know score can drop to 408.
