ITA - Accept / Decline

[Blueeyzz1310]

Hello Guys,

I recently re took my IELTS exam to improve my CRS score and I currently have 435 points. I got my invitation today ( Latest draw ) and I am confused whether I should accept it or decline it.

I am in my last year of F-1 visa and I recently got my H1-B picked ( Yet to be approved ) . I don't know the odds of approval as things are getting really weird here in the states and hence, I decide to apply for express entry as my back up plan. As a part of this plan, I took my IELTS, got FBI clearance certificate ( as I was told that I takes time ) and currently in the process of evaluating my academic documents. Now that I got my H1-B picked, I am confused on whether I should continue with my application process or wait till I find out the result of my H1-B and then accept the invitation and take it from there.

Please let me know your thoughts / suggestions

Thank you so very much in advance.

You have 90 days from 18 May 2017 i.e. upto 16 August 2017 to think about it.
Get all documents ready for ITA & if you decide not to go to Canada then decline on 15 Aug 2017.

As far as I know you can decline invitation & again re-enter as well as get out of the pool.

Dear all,

I am in a similar situation.

I have PNP nomination and 600 points have been added to my EE profile. I accepted the CIC ITA but I do not think I can collect all the required documents within the last date only few days remaining.

If I decline the CIC ITA now will I be accepted in back in the pool? And can I get an ITA in the next draw again?

Desperately waiting for an answer.

Hello, how did it go? I am having the same issue. I heard declining the ITA won't affect our 600 points, but not from official sources.

Thank you so much!

I am in a kind of tricky situation now.
I got the nominated in New Brunswick two weeks ago and I have some concerns about my application. I am wondering if you could give me some advice.

I had one year working experience outside Canada (Title A) so I am qualified for FSW. I started to work in Canada last year in May with Title B but didn't graduate until last September.
My PNP officer counted my internship as the in-Canada working experience, which means I have already had one year working experience in my primary Title B. But in my EE profile, the in-Canada experience (Title B) won't hit one year until end of August.

I understand that I only have 60 days to submit my application if I get invited.
So the wise thing to do is to decline the ITA if I get invited before July, 1. My main concern is that if I decline the ITA, is my pnp score still valid in my EE profile for the next draw?

The pnp officer thinks I will be fine since I am already qualified for FSW but he is unsure about what is gonna happen to the pnp score if I decline. I submitted a webform in IRCC website but haven't got anything back yet.

Please let me know what you think. I really appreciate it!
