Pwede yan. Mababait naman mga taga EA. Minsan nagre-recommend din sila ng tamang assessment base sa CDR mo. Email ka lang a few weeks before ma-assess ang CDR mo para magawa nila changes.

You can submit your EOI since you have your CID. I think your "choke" point will be your visa lodging. The next round of invitation will be in about a week or so and it'll be better if you get invited. Just make sure that you have all necessary documents when you lodge or even if you lodge it'll be a while before a CO so you can complete all documents including your positive assessment from EA.
Just remember that there are deadlines for the following:
- Upon getting invited and lodging your visa (not sure how long the EOI expires)
- CO allocation and providing all documents (28 days to comply to additional requirements if there are some)
With regards to your EA result, maybe you can also request a soft copy be emailed to you because you can use this in lodging just in case the hard copy takes some time before you receive it.
Hope this helps.
