Lets assume my Birthday Falls on Saturday and I have enough score to receive an ITA, If draw happens on previous day i.e Friday, then which score will be considered for draw? I mean with or without deduction 5 of points? What will happen first draw or deduction of 5 points?

Your age stops where it is when you get an ITA and you don't lose those points. For instance, I got an ITA on March 27 and my birthday was on April 3, but I did not lose those 5 points because I had the ITA beforehand.

If your birthday comes even a day before the ITA, I believe you would lose those points, and, if their loss would mean you would not have been eligible for the draw, you would have to decline the ITA or risk being rejected during your PR process.

If your ITA arrives while it's still Friday, you're good. And if it arrives on Saturday you may lose points but if you are within the draw you will still be good. Can't stop your birthday!
