Hi All

I have been issued an ITA and in the process of gathering my documents. I receive one of my employee reference letters from a past employer and turns out the dates I worked for that company aren't what I mentioned on my EE profile. This discrepancy was unintentional and doesn't change my CSR score or affect my eligibility criteria.

My score on the day the round of invitations was held was 443 and the cut off score was 443.

My Work experience:

Employee A- June 2010 to July 2011 = 13 months
Employee B- December 2011 to October 2012 = 11 months
Employee C- November 2012 to May 2014 = 19 months
Total = 43 months (+3.5 years)

Above are my actual work experiences, although for Employer B I wrongly but unintentionally mentioned my experience on the EE profile from August 2011 to October 2012. This doesn't alter my score or my circumstances.

I found this online while searching for a reason to not decline my ITA and go forward with my app.
“Section 11.2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act provides that (emphasis added):

11.2 An officer may not issue a visa or other document in respect of an application for permanent residence to a foreign national who was issued an invitation under Division 0.1 to make that application if - at the time the invitation was issued or at the time the officer received their application - the foreign national did not meet the criteria set out in an instruction given under paragraph 10.3(1)(e) or did not have the qualifications on the basis of which they were ranked under an instruction given under paragraph 10.3(1)(h) and were issued the invitation.

This clearly shows that I do not need to decline my ITA and I should just adjust my eAPR as my discrepancy doesn’t change my situation or my CSRscore.
Can someone kindly assess and advice me if its worth risking if i go forward with this? I am not willing to decline my ITA because my discrepancy isn’t really misinterpretation of information which affects the basis on which I was issued an ITA in the first place.

The score went down to 440 and maybe goes lower in the next round and i still have 443, should I just decline and go back to the pool? Or take the risk and just amend my eAPR and attach a LoE?


Thanks in Advance

Ignore the above, you haven't submitted your e-APR so raising a CSE is not the right approach.

Make the change and write a LOE regarding the situation.

No need to decline ITA. You can just explain the discrepancy in LOE.
