Hi

I think I haven't been eligible but with the profile below I have become eligible and everything updated on my profile 1st of December and got an invitation in the today's draw of STEM under the CEC which when I see I think I shouldn't be eligible for. Can someone clarify can it be a mistake and bug from the system and their calculation and should I apply or not?

PS: Main problem is after study I have been working 6 months right now but seems like they counted during the studies for me too, but it just changed on 1st of December, is there any rule that changed?

Thanks in advance.
