Hi everyone,

My CRS score already increased because of my work experience, but I will only officially complete my 3 years of work experience in July 2026.

If there’s a CEC draw soon and I receive an ITA, would it be okay to accept it and submit my application after I officially reach the 3-year mark, as long as it’s still within the 60-day submission deadline?

Example:

• Official 3 years of work experience: July 1, 2026
• 60-day submission deadline: July 11, 2026

Has anyone experienced the same situation? What did you do? Thanks!
