Ray of Hope - 97th Draw
- Thread starter wolfman2017
- Start date
Hi,
I have started my current job on September 21st, 2015. I submitted my profile showing this information in April, 2018 with two plus years of experience and score of 440. On August 8th, my actual work experience became 2 years, 10 months and 17 days but my express entry profile has calculated this as three year work experience on its own. Even though it has not reached three years like I explained. Because of this calculation, I ended up gaining 25 extra points, received the ITA which shows that I have 465 points now. With the original score (440 points), I should not have been invited in the last round which took place on August 8th, in spite of the fact that the cut off score was 440. Because the last round invited only those profiles which were submitted before January, 2018 and mine was submitted in April, 2018.
Can you please suggest what I should do now?
1. Should I decline this invitation so that my profile remains active in the pool for the next one and half months and keep declining until the duration of my work experience becomes 3 years in September 21st for real?
2. Should I accept the invitation as the profile thinks I am eligible?
@JSSJMD22 @AlliBatista can any of you please help?

are you sure that you fill in correct year and month of starting of this job ? I do not know how system calculate the number of years , if you filled it correctly then you are good here. Its just my opinion. Have you tried contacting CIC ?

Decline the ITA until you reach the necessary 3 years. This happened to some people before and CIC is very strict about the exact lenght of work experience. Sometimes the EE system will "give" you points before you have actually completed a full year, but when they evaluate the application, it gets rejected.
Hi,
thank you very much for your answer. Ok, if we decline it now, it is almost certain that we will be picked up again in the next three draws as well. Should we keep declining? Can declining more than once affect our application?
Alter something that will make u go off the ITA threshold to avoid constantly receiving ITAs and declining.. And to keep ur profile creation date in case of tie breaker or sth.
another thing you could do here is start preparing all docs, get your meds done and just be ready to pay and submit on the 21st of Sep. your ITA from 08 august is valid till 08 October. So you can just submit once you actually complete 3 years and you will be fine without having to decline any ITA.
Hi,
thank you for your reply. How about we decline just once after one month and then accept the next one?
That is completely your call. There is nothing wrong with declining and waiting for another invite. I was merely suggesting an alternative seeing that your ITA would be valid even by the time you actually complete 3 years. Besides if you haven't began arranging for all the documents required you will see how long it takes. So if you were to start doing that, you could just keep uploading each doc as and when it is ready and then just pay & submit once you hit the 3 year mark on Sep 21st.
Thanks for your reply. I guess I'll go with declining this one after one month and then wait for the upcoming one around 21st September, as my employer might take 1/2 weeks after 21st September to provide me the experience letter (with a date after 21st September which shows that I'm working for not less than three years).
