Hello, asking for a friend.. He received ITA on 28th September with CRS of 505 and the cutoff for 28th September draw was 504 but then he had a birthday on October 18th and lost 5 points so the current CRS is 500. Now he is about to submit the file for APR and the score in the IRCC account is 500 so whether this will be a problem ? Should he decline ITA and then again go back into the pool or submit now ?? Please reply

Had a birthday between ITA and AOR? Why your CRS score doesn't actually drop for age
Post ITA, age is not affected. The CRS remains the same. In the GCMS, officer's note will mention that age changed between ITA and AOR and also include the exemption rule stated above for locking the age.
Age is supposed to be locked in once one receives ITA, so I’m not sure your friend is right in saying he lost points for age. He needs to double check
