Need urgent advice

We were nominated through OINP last month with a CRS score of 414, and five days later (June 23, 2025), we received an ITA, which added 600 points to our score, bringing our total to 1,014.

As we were in the process of gathering documents for eAPR, I just realized that my spouse’s IELTS had already expired on June 18 which is prior to receiving the ITA.

We’re now worried that this might be considered misrepresentation, since the IELTS was already expired at the time we received the ITA (not after ITA) My spouse has retaken the IELTS, but unfortunately, the new score is lower than the previous one.

We’re unsure what to do, should we decline the ITA to avoid the risk of being flagged for misrepresentation, or should we go ahead and submit the new IELTS result along with a Letter of Explanation (LOE)???

We only have 2 weeks left before the ITA deadline. Thank you so much to anyone who can help us.
