Hello,
I found this information here: https://www.thevisacanada.com/services/permanent-residence/express-entry/canadian-experience-class-cec

Just to clarify. For example, you create EE profile, and apply in your 11th month, get a CRS score and still working. Then ITA comes let's say in the 345th day. You wait for another 20 days and submit application (Which is called e-APR i guess) on the 365th day.

Am I missing something here?

Many thanks.



Received ITA one or two months prior completion of one or two years Canadian experience, what to do?
This is the question often came across and to be honest in each round of invitation few candidates receive ITA one or two months in advance as express entry works on a month to month basis rather than exact dates, so what should the applicants do in such cases?

Based on the information provided through the immigration representative mailbox, the applicant should not decline ITA or delay the application. IRCC staff knew about this glitch or loophole which is benefitting certain candidates well ahead of time and award them one year or two years Canadian Experience Class points even one or two months in advance.

It is a misconception that applicant will be penalized for this but as explained by IRCC the officer whoever is dealing with the client application will focus more on the following:

  • continuation of the job
  • an offer of employment by the same employer willing to hire or continue to hire the employee
  • whether the applicant meets the experience requirement by the time his/her application is processed
Many people get confused due to this glitch but now they need not decline the ITA yet alone for this reason.

Hi, I got ita in may 2020. And I submitted all my documents on 10 August. On 11 August I received "Acknowledgement of receipt - application for permanent residency". Since then there is no update in my file. My IELTS is expiring on 25 September.
My question is - do I need to re take the IELTS exam?

Hello Guys,
I would really appreciate it if anyone could answer my question:
please is there a way to apply for PR under Canadian Experience Class without via paper base without express entry? I am not eligible for express due to my low score of 5.5 on IELTS. English proficiency requirement for Canadian Experience Class NOC B is 5 on all bands while express entry is CLB 7 on all bands. Is there a way or me to opt out for paper base since i didn't meet the requirement for express entry.
