Express Entry Profile CRS Points Increased After Receiving ITA

[Rajvinder]

I submitted my express entry profile and received ITA at cut-off 445. My CRS points were 477. Now, I have 80 days left to submit my E-Apr. I filled up my profile and previewed the CRS and it increased from 477 to 485. I compared both ITA and scores in calculation, my points for education have increased. Why would this happen? I added nothing in my study, employment, or personal history. Will this gonna effect my application?

It is always advised that you should compare the CRS points at the time of invitation and the time you will complete your profile to submit the final application. If your points are less than the cut off of the round of invitation you are invited to, you should decline this invitation. If your points are less than before but they are still more than the cut off, you should continue with this invitation and explain the decrease of points in additional information. In your case, your CRS points are increased then the points at the time of invitation has received. You don’t need to worry about it because you have not changed any details in the profile. It could be a system glitch. You should submit your application with all the supporting documents. There is no need of any explanation about the increase of points unless you are providing all documents for the points you claimed at first place.
