Hi,
Please help here!! While creating the EE Profile I made a mistake in filling up year of birth of my wife (filled 1988 while it should be 1989). Now I got the ITA but I am not able to update the year to 1989. She is not the primary applicant and this mistake (unknowingly though) won't affect my CRS score.
@legalfalcon Please suggest me what should I do here.

If you make an error inadvertently, that is not a misrepresentation. Also, you are not getting any benefit from the error.
