If you are applying via FSW stream then and you were working full time continuously (over 30 hours a week) for 12 months, you are good to go! read here to see if you qualify http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp

Your application will be rejected.

You must meet all requirements needed to reach the score you claim on BOTH the date of invitation and date of submission.

From responses of some senior members, I have learned that it's okay to submit your application after you complete two years therefore plz don't decline ita. I assume you have completed your two years by now. Let's see what others think.

Senior members are not necessarily better informed.

"At the time of the e-APR, processing officers should compare both CRS scores to determine which of the following scenarios should be applied:

If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is equal to or higher than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application will not be refused under section A11.2, as long as the applicant’s supporting documentation corroborates their claims and they continue to meet the MEC for Express Entry, including the requirements of the program to which they were invited to apply.
If the applicant’s CRS score at the time of the e-APR is lower than the lowest-ranked score in the round of invitations, the application should be refused under section A11.2 for not having maintained the qualifications that would justify the ITA."

Accept the ITA, wait till you complete the required 2 years of work and then submit your e-APR. You should be good. Good luck and cheers.

"Under section A11.2, an officer may not issue a visa to an applicant who did not or does not meet the Express Entry minimum entry criteria (MEC) or did not or does not possess the qualifications for which they received their CRS score at the time when

the Invitation to Apply (ITA) was issued; or
the e-APR was received by IRCC.
When reviewing an application, processing offices must determine if

the applicant possesses the qualifications that they declared in their e-APR, as corroborated by the applicant’s supporting documentation; and
when the applicant submits their e-APR, the information provided in their Express Entry profile has not materially changed to the degree that the applicant would not have been issued an ITA in that round of invitations."

"OR the e-APR was received by IRCC"

"OR the e-APR was received by IRCC"

Depends how you interpret this OR. What if it was the other way around - you met cut-off at the time of ITA but not e-APR. Can you still use this "or" the same way?

------------------

This is how I see it --

Refuse if requirement A not met or requirement B not met.

is the same as

Accept if both requirement A and requirement B met.


-------------------

Anyways VOs are not robots, so I think maybe it also depends on how each individual VO interprets it.

The answer to the bolded part would be no.

One's score can go down between ITA and e-APR - for example (among others) new IELTS scores are bad and the old one expired.

I believe that's what "maintaining" implies in the above context.

For OP there is nothing to maintain, he didn't even meet the requirement to get those points at the time of ITA.

CRS gets updated a month ago so what do u suggest lie on application and say he joined in march instead of feb. in either case as per ur thought process he will be rejected.

Decline the ITA and wait till he completes 2 years. Pretty simple.

Better than getting rejected months later.
