No need to decline the ITA if you get it early. Just wait until you actually met the 3 years work experience date and submit the e-APR after that date.
This situation is also going to happen to me in next month. Because I am gaining 4 years work experience in JULY 16, but my score will increase to 436 in JUNE 1.
If I receive ITA in JUNE, I will not submit e-APR before JULY 16, but I will submit the e-APR after JULY 16.
This is from CIC:
At the time of the e-APR, processing officers should compare both CRS scores to determine which of the following scenarios should be applied:
- If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is equal to or higher than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application will not be refused under section A11.2, as long as the applicant’s supporting documentation corroborates their claims and they continue to meet the MEC for Express Entry, including the requirements of the program to which they were invited to apply.
- If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is lower than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application should be refused under section A11.2 for not having maintained the qualifications that would justify the ITA.
