1. What happens if my Express Entry
profile changes after I receive my ITA?

2. • Occasionally, a candidate’s Express Entry profile, and therefore their
Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, changes after receiving
an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence (PR).
• If this happens, they must ensure they remain eligible for PR until
their electronic Application for Permanent Residence PR) has been
submitted.
• Express Entry is the name of the system used by Canada’s federal
government to cumulatively manage immigration applications from
three programs – the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), the Federal
Skilled Workers Program (FSWP) and the Federal Skills Trade
Program (FSTP).
• Canada’s Immigration Levels Plan for 2023-2025, Canada is aiming to
welcome at least 82,000 new immigrants through the Express Entry
system in each of the next three years.
3. Types of profile changes and consequences for an
inaccurate profile
• Following an Express Entry draw, during which a number of
candidates are issued ITAs for Canadian PR, it is still possible for an ITA
recipient’s profile to change.
• Note: Such changes could have notable impacts on one’s CRS score
because CRS scores only “lock” once a candidate submits their PR
(more on that later)
• For example, a candidate may receive an ITA and then go through a
career/education change, get married, have a birthday or have their
language test results expire, all before they submit their PR.
4. Updating an Express Entry profile after
receiving an ITA
• To avoid the consequences for inaccurate/false profile information,
candidates applying to any of the three programs managed under
Express Entry can use the following guide to update their Express
Entry profile after receiving an ITA.
• Essentially, prior to receipt of an ITA, candidates can make changes to
their Express Entry profile without explanation. However, this is no
longer possible once an ITA is issued because this is the moment
when candidates have their profiles officially recorded in the Global
Case Management System (GCMS).
5. • Therefore, at this time, applicants must
either:
• Upload additional supporting
documents to verify the change in
circumstances (marriage, career change
etc.) and ensure continuing profile
accuracy or
• Send a letter of explanation (LOE) to the
government when it is not possible to
gather the required supporting
documents
• An LOE allows applicants to explain that,
although they attempted to gather all
required documents within the 60-day
time frame (before their ITA expired),
they were unable to do so.
6. The impact of profile changes on a
candidate’s CRS score
• Another impact of post-ITA profile changes is that they can alter a
candidate’s CRS score, which can affect an individual’s chances of
receiving an ITA in an upcoming Express Entry draw.
• A candidate’s CRS score can go up or down in a number of ways based
on different elements of their profile. For instance, those who obtain
a valid job offer or increase their language test
scores/education/relevant work experience on their profile will earn
more points and subsequently improve their chances of being invited
to apply for Canadian permanent residence.
7. Profile changes and eligibility for Canadian
permanent residence
• Certain profile changes, even those that occur after receipt of an ITA,
can make previously eligible candidates now ineligible for permanent
residence Again, this is important because a candidate’s Express Entry
profile is not locked until they submit an PR to IRCC.
• As an example, language test results are valid for two years. If that
two-year period ends prior to submitting an PR, a candidate would
become ineligible for permanent residence in this country. The same
would be true if a candidate no longer meets the income
requirements outlined by IRCC regarding their proof of funds, which
“are altered every year based on 50% of the low-income cut-off
totals.”
8. Managing profile changes and potential processing
time delays
• Naturally, profile changes at any stage will require that IRCC takes
time to reassess a candidate’s eligibility and fit for permanent
residence to Canada via Express Entry. Therefore, it is possible that
post-ITA profile changes can add to the total processing time of a
candidate’s PR application.
• Accordingly, it is crucial that Express Entry candidates make every
effort to submit required documents and profile updates in a timely
manner, as this will help minimize application processing delays that
may occur.
9. Mitigating the negative impact of profile changes
• The key to handling profile changes after receiving an ITA is ensuring
that information is updated promptly and that any communication
with immigration authorities is done proactively when possible. In
other words, if there is ever a situation where an immigration
candidate can foresee a change to their profile that requires
communication with Canadian immigration officials, they should
make every possible effort to inform the proper authorities of the
impending change as soon as possible.
• The particular steps that an Express Entry candidate can take to
update their profile of any changes that occur after receiving an ITA
are detailed above.
