Birthday after ITA. Pls clarify

[pacificislander]

Will someone be ineligible if his CRS score went down post ITA? Say his score is exactly 447 at and he got an ITA and then his birthday will be tomorrow. What will happen to his application?

When a change in age results in the candidate no longer meeting the MEC or having their recalculated CRS points score fall below the lowest points score in that round of invitations, officers should consider applying the public policy to exempt applicants for permanent residence from certain age-based requirements between invitation to apply and application, based on section A25.2. This consideration can result in an exemption from the refusal of an application under section A11.2.

This public policy also grants an exemption to applicants who may be refused for failing to meet FSWC program requirements when their birthday occurs between the ITA and e-APR.

Losing points due to having a bday post ITA won't affect your application. But losing points because of expired / new language scores or losing the LMIA job or PNP will impact your application.
