I had applied for Express Entry last year with a score of 444. (1 year Canadian, 1 bachelors degree from Cabada). I got the letter from OINP in December. I started working on July 02 2014 and applied for express entry on the 11th of July 2015. I changed jobs once so my work experience goes something like this

Job 1 - 07/14 - 11/15
Job 2 - 11/15 - blank

I was expecting my score to increase on July 1st, but last night I got an email saying profile has been updated and when I checked it my score had gone to 469.

Is this correct? or am I missing something. Why did my score go up in June. I have 2 bachelor degrees and just got my ECA done after a lot of pains. If I update that (2 or more degrees) my score goes higher. I am afraid to do so cuz don't want to accept ITA without 2 years getting completed.

Please help guys.

Proceed with updating 2 or more degrees in your profile. You are allowed to accept the ITA even if you are 1 month short of completing 2 years. Just make sure you submit e-APR after completing 2 full years.

1,560 hours total / 30 hours per week = 1 yr experience.

In your second job (Job 2 - 11/15 - blank) you might have mentioned more than 30 hrs/week in offer letter which might have been consider as 2 yr experience by CIC.

May be that's the reason they considered your over all experience as 2 yrs in this month of June instead of July 2016. As No Man left behind advised accept your ITA and submit your e-apr in the month of July when you think you have complete 2 yrs experience.
