More CRS points than I deserve. What do I do? please help.

[sorkin24]

The work history section only allows entry of Month/Year for start and end of each job and one of my Jobs was from Jan 15th to May 15th. It's four months but EE is calculating it as 5. Same situation for another job that was From Sept 15 to Dec 15.

Both cases I get an extra month. Those two months are putting me at 3 years experience rather than 2. Giving me a score of 481 (which based on the last couple of picks, looks like I'll get an ITA)

I don't know how to fix this issue. Should I withdraw my profile?
If I get an ITA should I accept it?

You can use your current ITA. IRCC calculates your work experience in months, so in the gcms notes, in your case, the work experience will be recorded as Jan to May, and Sep to Dec, giving you 5 months and 4 months respectively. Lots of people will tell you that you have to decline ITA etc etc, but that’s not correct.

You can check if what I said is true by asking (reputable) immigration lawyers and consultants too.

I remember an immigration lawyer said you should wait until you have 3 years of experience before submitting your application. As long as you have enough on AOR date, you are good.

Not sure about what happens if you submit without sufficient years, it highly depends on the officer who reviews your file and you won't want to risk it.

If your score with 2 years work ex is above the cut-off, accept the ITA. If not, reject and wait for your work ex to cross the threshold. If it is an issue of 2months, just wait it out.

That is the advice I followed. I made my profile the month I hit 3+years work ex.
