Got CEC ITA at 11 months experience, submit after 1 month VS decline and wait

[HSAL]

Hey guys,

I got ITA today for Canada experience class program, and as you probably know there is a weird behaviour that happened to many people where they get ITA at 11 months (due to application dealing with start date as Month/Year instead of Day/Month/Year). I did a lot of research and found 2 opinions:
1) Wait till 1 year is completed then submit the application
2)Reject invite and wait till you get another one after 1 month
The second opinion suggests that you should meet the requirements in invitation time (not only in application time)
Anyone has experience going through any of these options? Declining ITA is kinda scary to me
Thanks!

If I were you, I would call the CIC or consult with a lawyer. When you decline the first ITA you have to explain why you did that when you get a second ITA.

I think you are okay to apply right now but I am not 100% sure
