Decline Invitations Due to Errors

Hi there,

I have received my ITA, however, while checking documents I have found 5 errors in my profile. None of these errors have changed my score. I am concerned that even if I do address them in my LOE it will be viewed harshly by officers.

The mistakes were
1st - I have used the wrong noc code for a short term job at home. This job was only two months and it would have changed from an A to B. 2nd - for this job I put the wrong start date. I used Jan 16 instead of Dec 15. At this point I am unable to find supporting documents for this job. I don’t believe this job will affect my foreign workers score as I have 18 months of it and I received points for 1 - 2 years.

3rd- I used the wrong dates on a job I was claiming points for foreign experience. I used Mar 15 as my start date instead of April 15. With the correct dates my foreign work experience is 18 months. I received 26 points from foreign work experience so I believe that’s 1 to 2 years. This change in start date wouldn’t affect my score

4th- I used the incorrect date for a short two week contract here in Canada I put Jan 18 instead of Feb 2018. I don’t believe this would have been counted towards my Canadian experience as I didn’t start my next work experience until May 2018

5th - I used the start date of Jan 2015 instead of Feb 2015 for an unskilled job I received no points for however I still need to provide documentation for.

Would it be best to decline the application and start a new profile excluding these short term and unskilled jobs? I didnt not fully understand the points system when first submitting. These are small mistakes on my end made in haste. My score was 479 last time so I believe I have a good chance of getting selected again. However, my visa expires on 26 December.

Thanks,

479 is a very good score. I would say make another profile but do not reject this ITA for now. Hopefully, there is another draw soon and then you have nothing to worry about. But for backup keep this ITA for now.

Thank you for your reply, I wasn't aware you could have multiple profiles at once for express entry? Will having declined negatively affect my application

It won't have any negative impact on your application. I personally had to decline my ITA twice in back to back draws.
