Receive ITA when WES still in progress?

That explains it then. You didn't get lucky at all, you followed the rules.

Hhhhmmmm...So I guess its OK to create the profile with some approximate date for WES in case one is pretty sure that he/she will get the report before the last date of submission...

He didn't "follow the rules" at all. He presumably got an ITA based on his assertion that he had an ECA. Since he didn't and subsequently lied about the issue date, he broke the rules. He's right about the fact that he got lucky.

Partly correct.

True that OP gambled on their ECA returning a certain outcome within a certain time period BUT they received an ITA after getting their ECA report so all legit there. OP did not lie about their ECA issue date in the post ITA application (that's where it starts counting) so that was legit as well.

About being lucky, the only luck involved was in their assessing officer not bothering with the 'random' date mentioned in their pre ITA application (which isn't really luck because the officers pay far more attention to the post ITA application and only ever compare with the pre ITA application if there are serious discrepancies and/or changes in score).

Not as a rule. It's still a discrepancy in the system, some other officer might have noticed that. Of course, it can still be explained away as a typo. It doesn't really matter what date is input in the pre ITA application (within last 5 years, of course, else profile could be ineligible) but the crucial bit is to have the ECA report in hand BEFORE one receives the ITA. That ways, it's still legit.
