Changing spouse education after receiving ITA - will application be rejected?

I received ITA in the May 31 draw (when the cutoff was 413 points). At that point my profile had 440 points.

My wife's WES ECA had put her MBA as:
Canadian Equivalency: One year of post-secondary study at a non-recognized institution
Remarks: The credential is not comparable to a completed Canadian education credential.

I didn't understand this and put One Year Post secondary education against her Master's in my EE profile.
After ITA I got to know of this and have chosen "Less than Secondary or None". If I had originally chosen correct option, my EE points would have been 439 instead of 440 (I would have received 8 points for spouse education instead of 9).

I am planning to submit the application after making the change and adding LOE - but will this lead to rejection of application?

Subsequent draws have points higher than the May 31 draw.

as long as your points are same or above cut off of your ITA after you make the changes, you should be good. Don't forget to attach LOE for the changes being done.

Hello Sir..

My wife's WES states as per following:

1. Credential Authentication: Official transcripts were sent directly by the institution
Country: India
Credential: Bachelor of Commerce
Year: 2003
Awarded by: Saurashtra University
Status: Recognized Institution
Major/Specialization: Accounting
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (three years)

2. Credential Authentication: Official transcripts were sent directly by the institution
Country: India
Credential: Master of Commerce
Year: 2005
Awarded by: Saurashtra University
Status: Recognized Institution
Major/Specialization: Accounting
Canadian Equivalency: Bachelor's degree (four years)

Now, while filling education history in EE profile, I have selected both his bachelors and masters as Bachelor's degree in Canadian Equivalency section and I have been awarded 9 points for it. have I done the right thing??

Thanks
