Can someone help me with this situation?
I have received ITA. While going through the EE Profile I have noticed that the graduation year and the first experience dates are mentioned as same. For ex; I did my grad in 2005 to 2008. The same year and month is mentioned in the first experience colum. Actually I started my first work from 2008 and not 2005. I have letter stating the same and certificate from the university that mention the year of Bachelor's. Its clearly a typing error. What am I supposed to do next? My EE profile cant be altered at this moment as its all been Transmitted. I am worried .Please give me a solution. I dont want to loose my ITA.

What do you mean by the first experience date? Are you referring to the section that says "Date first became qualified"?
What does this means?
Also I did my grad in the year 2005-2008. And soon after that I started working that is from 2008-2010. But in the EE profile i have mentioned as 2005-2008 as my experience dates. Thts wer the mistake has happened. After that i have moved to UAE. Thts y I mentioned as first experience .

How many years of experience are you claiming?

2008-2010 is 3 years.. but 2005-2008 is 4 years.. Technically it shouldn't be a problem because CRS points consider any work experience above 3 years to be the same. However, your FSW points might be affected, so calculate them here to be on the safe side http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

If both of your scores are still fine, go ahead and make the change and explain in the LOE that this was an error.

I am claiming 6 plus years .I started working since 2008 until now.But not from 2005. Even if i change the dates i can maintain my score 470. I m worried whether it will adversely affect my application.

I don't think it should be a problem. Just explain what you just wrote in the LOE and you should be fine.

Thank you. I have a small query as well.if there is a change in the months of completion of course in the expressentry profile and submitted documents ,will there be any problem?
For example i completed my post grad in 2010 oct. But I gave in the profile as 2010 may.

I don't think it would be a problem really. Again, explain why you wrote May instead of Oct and that it was an honest mistake. As long as your documents match your eAPR, you should be good to go.
