What if a work exp is rejected but profile still eligible and above cutoff?

Hey guys

I have been trying to find an answer to this query and have come up short! Hoping you can help out

Lets say you have two years foreign work experience for FSWP which total 3+ years. Both them are more than 1 year each and both have same NOC code.

Suppose that one of them is rejected for failing to prove NOC duties but the other one is accepted. So your points decrease but are still above the cutoff and you still have the 67+ points of eligibility.

What happens then... is your application rejected or does the VO re-calculate and see that you still meet requirements?

They will recalculate. If it's above cut off you should be fine. But expect delays because it will be marked for additional review.

Thanks for your reply man! Good to see that they don't reject it. Delays are OK as long as I get it eventually.

Can you let me know if there is any official source or anything like this that confirms this?

I've seen gcms notes where they deduct points for unverifiable work exp and if it's still above cut off, mark it as appears met or review required.

Requirement to maintain the CRS score
Ministerial Instructions given under the authority of paragraph A10.3(1)(h) determine the basis on which Express Entry candidates are ranked. Under section A11.2, applicants are required to maintain the qualifications that led them to be included in the top-ranked candidates to be issued an ITA in a particular round of invitations.

When a round of invitations occurs, IRCC invites the top-ranked candidates in the Express Entry pool to apply for permanent residence. Candidates in the pool are ranked based on self-declared qualifications in their profile and according to IRCC’s CRS. After each round of invitations, IRCC publishes the score of the lowest-ranked candidate to receive an ITA in that round of invitations.

An applicant’s CRS score is automatically recorded in GCMS at the time when

• their ITA is issued; and
• their e-APR is submitted.

At the time of the e-APR, processing officers should compare both CRS scores to determine which of the following scenarios should be applied:

• If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is equal to or higher than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application will not be refused under section A11.2, as long as the applicant’s supporting documentation corroborates their claims and they continue to meet the MEC for Express Entry, including the requirements of the program to which they were invited to apply.
• If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is lower than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application should be refused under section A11.2 for not having maintained the qualifications that would justify the ITA.

Thanks man. This sounds pretty definite! Guess I don't need to worry about app being rejected if VO is not satisfied with one of my work exp.

Nice, good to see it confirmed both in theory (ishq's comment) and practice . Thanks for the help man!
