@legalfalcon Well I understand that it is a glitch where it awards points based on months completed and not the date. However, I should decline the ITA if received today and only accept after I complete 3 years of work experience. I.e, after 3 Jan 2021. Am I right?
Thank you so much! Really appreciate it
As on the date when you create a profile, you should meet all the criteria and conditions. Since you did not meet the criteria of 3 years of work experience, you can't claim points for something that is happening post ITA.
IRCC clearly states:
Under section A11.2, an officer may not issue a visa to an applicant who did not or does not meet the Express Entry minimum entry criteria (MEC) or did not or does not possess the qualifications for which they received their CRS score at the time when
When reviewing an application, processing offices must determine if
- the invitation to apply (ITA) was issued; or
- the e-APR was received by IRCC.
Accordingly, officers should refuse an application under section A11.2 if it is determined that
- the applicant possesses the qualifications that they declared in their e-APR, as corroborated by the applicant’s supporting documentation; and
- when the applicant submits their e-APR, the information provided in their Express Entry profile has not materially changed to the degree that the applicant would not have been issued an ITA in that round of invitations.
- at the time of the ITA or e-APR, the applicant did not or does not meet the MEC, which includes the requirements of the program to which they were invited to apply; or
- the applicant’s recalculated CRS score has fallen below that of the lowest-ranked candidate invited to apply in that round of invitations.
