ExpressEntry Profile 11 Months Cdn Work Experience ITA For CEC

[Mandeep]

I was creating my express entry profile. As soon as I entered 11 months of Canadian work experience, I got an ITA for Canadian Experience Class. I have 4 years of work experience from back home under NOC A. Would it be a problem if I will accept the ITA? Should I decline the ITA and wait for next draw or proceed with submitting my application?

The reason why you may have still received an ITA despite not having completed the minimum work experience requirement is because there is a glitch in the Express Entry profile calculation system. Basically, the system rounds up the dates to the end of each month (example: June 22, 2019 will get rounded up to June 30, 2019). If you were to decline your ITA, your application will not be refused as your express entry profile will be put back into the pool. You can then amend your work experience dates and await for a new ITA in the next draw.
