I predict that after today's draw there's gonna be around 6500 people left in the 461 to 470 range

I don't know really know when it got updated as I have another mail for my IRCC related stuff and rarely check it as I am not expecting an ITA anytime soon. But for some reason I checked it couple days back and saw that my account is updated and I went on to IRCC site to check to see that I now have 478. So the points have updated for me a full one month before I actually complete 3 years.

Regarding whether it is safe to submit before you actually complete 3 years, I have no idea but seen posts here saying it is better to accept after completion of 3 years and also IRCC saying it is fine as it is a system glitch. I am not in a hurry to get my ITA at this stage and I need time to prepare my documents so I will only be accepting the new years draw!

Just my humble advice, accept the ITA, just wait a minimum of the days you need post-ITA before you submit your application for PR. So for example, if you need 24 more days on the date you receive your ITA, just wait 24 days after that date at least before you submit your application.

I've helped a lot of people with this, none of them have had any issues with it.

Because if you receive an ITA and reject it, that's an ITA that could have gone to someone else.

Guys! I would like your input with my case. I will be completing 3 years on 3 Jan 2021 but the points have already been updated in my profile. If there is a draw today and I receive an ITA. What is the way forward? I mean is there an accept or decline option or I have 90 days to submit documents straight away and I can submit after I complete 3 years i.e., I don't decline the ITA and submit ? I am a little unsure about that bit. Please advise.

Thank you!

@Islander216 I am in the same boat as @joshytu And I read the same thing what you suggested. It is okay to submit application after the date is crossed right? I am sure IRCC is aware of the glitch and would look at the date submitted and recalculate score. However, legalfalcon suggests to decline the ITA and only accept when you have score for 3 years work experience.

Keep at it guys! No matter what happens , keep looking for ways to increase your score. Your effort will surely be rewarded. I got OINP NOI and my PPR at times when I least expected it !

I understand, i'm not here to contradict what he says, because technically it is probably the safest option.

But in reality, IRCC are well aware their system counts work experience by month and not days, and that many people will be in this situation when they are invited and will receive ITAs before they technically have 3 years of experience.

I've not known anyone to get a rejection because of that. My good friend just had this very situation and waited for the days to elapse post-ITA, submitted his application, and got his PPR.

IRCC will not penalise you based on how their system functions.

@Islander216 Thank you so much mate! That really helps. I will accept the ITA and only submit once the days have elapsed.

Trust me if there was a way for me to not get invited in this months draw, I would've sought that option. I am not going to withdraw my profile in order to make it happen cause of the cut off dates and what not; but any other means I would welcome not to be invited in this round of draws. I don't want there to be any issues when I make submission of my applications and there is going to be some delay to gather my documents together as I am engaged at present.

@FatehM good luck with your applications, lets see how our cases go since we are opting for alternate styles of submission. From your profile picture I am assuming you are currently based in Qatar? I am based in Kuwait so we share more than a few commonalities. Lets keep in touch and see how this goes.

Cheers, good luck guys. Hope y'all have a good draw!!
