Im looking for some friendly advice?

I fear I may have jumped the gun :oops:

I entered the pool in Nov 2020 exactly after reaching the golden 1560hrs. (Or at least I thought so)

I then continued working in my current position until my VISA expired 8 weeks later.

On Feb 13th I received a CEC invitation with 439 points. After some recalculation it appears I entered the pool early. At the date of my application I had actually accumulated only 1500hrs.

In summary, I have a total of 1740hrs Canadian work experience but only 1500hrs from the date I submitted my Express Entry Profile.

My question is. Have I blown it and will I have to reject the invitation and reapply.

Thanks in advance.

This is reassuring, thanks for the response.

From the government link below:

https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=675&top=29

It clearly states:

"No, you should not complete an Express Entry profile in this case. If you do not have a full year of experience, the system will not find you eligible."

Since technically I applied 2 weeks early (albeit by mistake) at the time I was ineligible.

Would that not be seen as misrepresentation? Or am I just completely overthinking this whole thing?

Thanks again, I appreciate any advice
