My EE profile shows eligible for both FSW and CEC after NOC update

Hello everyone.

I am a bit confused, and any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.

I have submitted my EE profile recently. My profile got eligible for FSW. I am inland, with PGWP and less than one year of Canadian experience in my current job. I do have another Candian work experience but gained more than 3 years ago. For my EE profile, I put:
- my current job offer, with less than one year of experience, no LMIA
- my old work experience in Canada and abroad.

The system gives me 46 points for CRS - Human Capital - Canadian Work Experience.

With the old NOC system, I have only FSW eligibility. However, in November, I had to update my NOC to the 2021 system without changing anything else. Now, my account shows I am also eligible for CEC. Then I got an ITA under CEC.

I believe this is a mistake with the new NOC system. My account does not meet the CEC requirement. My Canadian work experience is too old (more than 36 months), so it should not count towards CEC. I do not have a one-year full-time employment with my current job.

If I accept my ITA, I will not be able to provide one-year experience proof, which I did not claim at all. If I refuse the ITA, I will stay eligible and will get another ITA.

What should I do?

How should I restore my alone FSW eligibility?

Thanks.
