How do changes reported after AOR impact eligibility? I understand that as long as the changes reported do not drop you below the cut-off as of the AOR date, it should be fine. However, does it matter in what period the change occurred? For e.g.,

a) When applying the applicant offered Work Experience for a Job A between 1st Jan 2018 and 31st December 2018.
b) The applicant's AOR is 1st Jan, 2019
c) The applicant starts a new job B on 1st Feb 2019
d) The applicant realizes that they don't have all documentation for Job A or that it would be hard to procure in event of an ADR. They do however have all documents for Job B available, and thus wish to change their work ex/NOC on file from Job A to Job B
e) Applicant updates Work Experience on 1st Feb, 2020, from Job A that was prior to AOR, to Job B that was after AOR

Job B, and not Job A, would still give sufficient points to clear the cut-off. However, does it matter that the work experience eventually used did not occur prior to AOR date? Any CIC/IRCC reference would be helpful too. I've seen often where updated POFs have sufficed, even if the amount was accrued after the AOR to meet the requirements.

Based on this paragraph on CIC's website, it appears that it may be acceptable. However, wanted to confirm if my interpretation is correct.

Change in circumstance declared after an e-APR has been submitted

To assess an application under section A11.2, a processing office must consider the information in an applicant’s profile at the time of the round of invitations and the information provided when the applicant submits their e-APR. After an e-APR is submitted, an application cannot be refused due to a change in circumstance unless

  • the officer determines that the change occurred before the applicant submitted their e-APR and that the change would have caused the applicant to be refused under section A11.2: therefore, the application should be refused under section A11.2; or
  • the change in circumstance means the applicant no longer meets the minimum requirements of the program to which they are applying; therefore, the application may still meet the requirements of section A11.2 but can be refused for failing to meet program requirements.
For example, if an applicant marries before they submit their e-APR but informs IRCC of the marriage only after they submit their e-APR, the marriage can be taken into account as part of the section A11.2 assessment.

If, however, an applicant marries after they submit their e-APR, then informs IRCC of the marriage, the marriage cannot be taken into account as part of the section A11.2 assessment. However, the change in circumstance may affect whether the applicant still meets the program requirements. See below for details.
