13. If a candidate gains new experience while his or her application is being processed, can he or she gain points?
Yes. Any changes that may affect the candidate's application must be declared within 30 days of the change. This includes the addition of new family members, as well as any changes in address, employment, and education - this applies to the accompanying spouse as well. The candidate may gain eligibility points for these changes. However, these changes must be declared even if the change will not affect the points score.
