Hi All,

I got an ITA before completing one year in Canada under CEC category. I have started working in Canada from July 3rd 2019 and technically I will complete one year in July 3rd but Express entry system already provided one year experience points and I got an invitation.

1.Shall I accept ITA now and submit e-APR after July 3rd? So after July 3rd anyway 1 year will be completed.
2.Should I decline and wait for another draw on July 3rd?

Please suggest. I really need your suggestions.

Wait until July 3rd to submit all documents. It honestly best though to create your profile until after you got your one year of experience.

You need to show that on the day you received the ITA, you had the experience that you got points for. It is a well-known bug in the EE system that it awards points before it is supposed it. This question has been posted countless times on every thread - do a search to find out how to handle it.

Dude, have you done the math? The influx of new candidates in 450-600 range in the last 14 days has been 364 candidates/day, that is, simply putting, the 2nd biggest influx of new candidates since early 2019 (when I started taking care of the data provided by IRCC).
You simply are arguing your OPINION as being the truth. The numbers prove you're totally wrong.
Just to be 100% clear: In the last 14 days more candidates entered the 450-600 range than in any other week of 2020 (including the pre-pandemic period of January).
If you insist on that idea, you're simply lying to yourself (and might be putting FSWs candidates to think it's OK to sit at 455 waiting for an ITA that will never come).
Thanks for the update.

1) For the benefit of all the members on this forum, could you please shed some light how did you get this figure of 364 candidates per day in the range 450-600 in the last 14 days.
Look I might be wrong, but simple calculations show the below results, but let's not forget on 28th may 2020, chunk of the invited profiles of the draw size of 3515 were in the range on 440 to 450(CEC). I assume 2300+ CEC profiles were invited between 440 to 450 on 28th May, so that leaves us with 2418(1218+1215) new profiles, approx 174 new profiles per day !!!

2) Do we know the number of people joining in the pool per day above 480 in the last 14 days? Because whenever the first FSW draw happens seems like profiles between 480 to 1200 will get through with the 3900 ITA's.

Hello members, I need your help here....
I recently created a EE profile and submitted my application yesterday! I got a overall crs score of 456! But do you guys know when the next draw will be?

I did two jobs so far. My first job I started in June 3rd last year but quit June 22nd last year! Just worked around 50 hrs but I have all the documents like reference letter and pay stabs My second job I started working June 27th last year and I am still working here. I calculated my hours and I am short by 40 hrs Which I should complete by June 22nd if all goes well. Do you think it was correct of me to create and submit a profile now?

Hello guys,

I made a small error in education section. The end date of my course is 2019 but i entered 2020 by mistake. My crs is not affected by this ...i have corrected it now after receiving an ITA and can include of a letter of explanation to avoid any confusion.

Any suggestions?

It is nice to see that there are more people joining the pool even during these times. This will help the other members here not to have the false hope that those with scores below 465 will be selected. Once IELTS & ECA starts it is going to go back to the trend we saw pre-covid; so please don't expect to see the 440 scores that we are seeing these days for CEC candidates!

For the CEC members it is golden opportunity and I think they deserve it more than anyone else due to how competitive it has been in the past years, i feel IRCC should conduct regular CEC only draws every month or so to give them some ray of hope in the future!

Hi How much we need to pay for the additional fees? I paid $1125 on May 22 when I submitted it, but they asking the additional fees, I saw the website shows $1325, so I paid $ 200 and submit to the web form. Today I received the email from IRCC, they said i paid incorrect amount. Please help me with that. Thank you guys
