After graduating they have to get atleast 1 yr work exp as well because you cant count work exp while studying in canada
Even without work experience, new graduates can easily get an ITA. They don't have to wait for 1 year work experience if they're younger, excel their IELTS exams, and have studied in Canada for atleast 2-3 years. Altogether this is enough to get them an ITA.

No that's not true.
You need to be eligible for either of the program.
FSW - at least 1 year of skilled Foreign work experience
CEC - at least 1 year of skilled Canadian work experience (work done as a part of study is NOT considered)

I myself studied in Canada and been in pool for more than 6 months. Please refer to Eligibility Criterias of each Immigration Streams!

Hello guys, did anybody else notice a change in the Express entry points calculator at the CIC website? I am absolutely sure the results for a same profile is different from one or two months ago. Before I would calculate with a profile and get 431 points, now I am getting 450 points with the same profile. Can anyone check it and see if the calculator is scoring way too many points? Thank you!

You
I declined my last ITA (deadline was September 27). Thankfully I got ITA this time. But funny thing is I am STILL not ready to apply. STILL waiting on the FBI PCC. Right now it will take 14 weeks for an FBI PCC it seems. So here's to hoping I dont have to decline AGAIN.
You can apply, just include in letter of explanation, CIC will give you enough time to get it if you explain but if you don't include it, they will reject your application. This happened to a friend so am talking from experience.

No, you might have provided incorrect information either in your profile or in calculator.
It still calculates same points for me!
CRS Calculator is accurate!

Hah...I got excited for no reason, I guess :(
I totally forgot about that when I saw my points. Thanks for reminding me. I better crawl back to my cocoon and get busy.

You said "I am STILL not ready to apply". So when you know it, you probably should withdraw profile instead of declining ITA multiple times!
Yeah, what is wrong with that? I am not ready to apply until I get my PCC on hand. I had to decline my ITA because the PCC was delayed. But that doesn't mean I should withdraw my profile.

Yeah, there is no reason for you to withdraw your profile. Sounds like you will receive your PCC in a few weeks, well before this next 90 day deadline to apply with your new ITA.
