Correcting Education info mistake in EE profile Post ITA

[Nix9]

Hello everyone,

I received my ITA recently, and I realized that I had made a mistake about my high school education in Express Entry profile.
Instead of selecting "Secondary diploma (High school Graduation)", I had selected "None, or less than Secondary" under Level of Education drop-down menu, for the completion of my high school education.

My education credential looks like this:

College - Two-year program at a college, university or trade school (Correct)
High School - None, or less than secondary (Incorrect : should have been "Secondary diploma (High school Graduation)")

Education score - 98.

So technically, I would not have been able to get an acceptance into my college program if I had not had a High school graduation.
Also, I don't think that changing this is going to increase or decrease the score.


Should I decline the invitation, and then rectify and resubmit my profile? Are all the changes logged into the system, post ITA?

Thank you!

You will only get points for Diploma (higher education) and not high school. You can move high school to personal history.

Hi everyone

I made a mistake in the company name and I put the wrong address of my Canadian work experience in my EE profile, I have now received my ITA, it was a genuine mistake and doesnt effect my points whatsoever.

Can I just edit my profile post ITA and add a LOE explaining the mistake?

To be more specific I put XX Recruitment instead of XX Specialist Recruitment (Canada) Inc. and put there main Toronto address instead of the office in North York where my employment letter was issued. I am paid through this recruitment agency and contracted out to another company thats why I mixed it up.

Please help.
