Hi,

I was waiting to be invited to apply through the CEC/Express Entry since Sep2019, but because I had a score of 453 I never made the cut. A few weeks ago, I checked my account and I see an invitation, of course I check the score again and it increased to 478. I checked the different categories and they added 12 points to Human Capital – Canadian Work Experience and 13 points to Skill Transferability – Foreign Work Experience. Again, I didn't provide them with any further information from my side. My dilemma is that I moved back to my country in February 2020, and received the invite in March 2020 and now I think they added these points still thinking I am in Canada.
Would you go with this application?
And if not, where do you see I might have accumulated points without being eligible for it.

Thanks!

Apparently, you got points for 1 more year of Canadian work experience. If you had a job in Canada at the date of EE profile submission in Sep 2019 and you wrote in your profile that you were employed at that time, then, if you quit but didn't update the information in your profile with the end date for that work experience, the system is considering you to be still employed. If you started counting your working experience in Canada in April 2018, then the system would award you with additional points for 2 years of Canadian experience right in March 2020.
One of the requirements of EE is to maintain the most up do date and accurate information in your profile. If you quit or lost your job, you should've reflected that in your profile. If you haven't done that, but the situation changed, you're not eligible for those additional points and you have to decline ITA and update your profile.

Thank you for the very detailed message! My intuition tells me nothing different, I was just curious where the additional points came from exactly. Appreciate the breakdown :)
