HI Everyone,

Hope you are doing well, I am looking for suggestions based your expertise or past experience on my situation.

I started working in Ontario, Canada on 8th-August-2018 (NOC 2174) and going to complete 2 years of Canadian experience in few months (August 2020). I have created an express entry profile recently and my CRS score is 438 as of now. Based on this score 438, I recently got an PNP request from Ontario on 13th May 2020. So here is my confusion -

Considering the current situation I hoping the scores will continue to drop and there are chances CEC draws might hit 438 in next few draws. But irrespective of scores dropping or not in August 2020 I will complete 2 years of Canadian experience and my CRS score will increase to 461. I have read in few post that express entry tool automatically updates the CRS scores taking into account the experience 2 months before we achieve that experience since in 2 months window we have to complete submission of all the documents. I want to know is my understanding correct or express entry profile score will not be updated until August 2020 for me.

Secondly I like I said earlier I have got the PNP request on May 13, which gives me 45 days to submit that application. Does it make sense to wait until the end of next month for express entry draw or submit the PNP request. I believe PNP request will add another expense of $1500 and take more 2 -3 months of my time so I am looking for suggestions on this. I am a family of 3 (2 adults + 1 child).
