Hello guys,
I have received an ITA today, I have a score of 440 according to the calculator in my profile. But I will have full 3 years of experience in about 3 weeks (I am basically missing few days in March 2018, few days in October 2015 and few days in November 2017(all due to changing jobs). Without these 3 weeks I should have 415 points.

What should I do? Some people say that in this case, I should decline, but some say that CIC are aware of such an issue and that I should accept the invitation.

can someone who had gone through a similar case give some advice?

Thanks, and be blessed!

I think you can go ahead and submit your documents because it's not your fault you got invited ahead of time.

But let's see what the seniors say about this.

I think you need to wait for the three weeks (when you'll get the actual number of years of experience) before you submit your application or you reject the ITA.
Since you have 60days (8 weeks) from today to submit your application assuming you accept the ITA, it will make more sense for you to wait 45 days to be sure you actually have 3years+ and not 1 day less before you submit your application.

I see... so I should just wait with this ITA and submit my docs in 3 weeks?
Also, It says that full time is 37h/week, but I have been working 45h/week, so it also increases my work expirience, isn't it?

No it doesn't increase your work experience.

I don't think they count anything over 30h/ week.

As @tobs recommended, You should wait 3 weeks or even 4 weeks just to be safe and then submit the application.

when the officer reviews your case, he/she will recalculate your score with the information you have provided and they might be strict about it
I believe you shoud decline and wait for another draw.

A lot of seniors on this forum have said that you could wait with your ITA and submit your application after the date you complete your years.

Let's not decline the ITA. Though we were getting a 440 cut-off in the past, we have also seen 441 consistently. Start working on your application, and submit it once your experience has completed 3 years.

I have seen cases when people get through this, and I have seen people being refused immediately after submission. Officers would normally see if you fulfilled the criteria of ITA at the time when it was issued. In your case this does not seems to be fulfilling as you were saying.

My fear is that we are reaching the end of year, and this is the time when there PR quota is about to finish (they send more invitations in the beginning), and provinces quota start lying up. Having said that cut-off could start shooting up. I only wanted to avoid this high cut-off which might prevent you from getting ITA until the start of new year. I pray that I would be wrong about the quota and in worst case you receive your ITA again.

Good Luck

Thanks, I actually researched the forum a lot on this question, and indeed there are people who are accepting the ITA once they fulfill the full work experience, but yet again, there are others who are declining...

And as the post above, I also afraid of the score to increase, as farazafzal said, it's the end of the year and the IRCC must meet their quota.. that's why we got multiple 440 lately...

That's a tricky situation. I emailed the IRCC regarding thia issue, hope they will answer me soon.

From what I know, your scores are calculated at the time you received your ITA. So waiting for another 3 weeks to submit your documents doesn't change your case.
