Is 11 months continuous full-time working experience eligible for EE FSW?

For some reasons, I only had a continuous working experience at the same job position for around 11 months. The job is a 40h/week full-time job, is that still eligible for the EE FSW stream?

If you changed your job then no. You will need start and end dates on the position. If you stayed at the same company with the same NOC but just got reassigned or promoted, you can count the experience after the change.

Thanks for the reply, I was quite confused because I was told that 1560 hours are equivalent to one year working experience. If I worked continuously 40h/week for 11 months, I will have 40*4*11 = 1760 hours experience which exceeded 1560 hours. Is that still not eligible even if the total hours exceeded 1560, but the length is shorter than 12 months?

You can only count up to 30 hours per week. You need to have at least 52 separate weeks of work. This is why you don't qualify with 11 months. So no, you are not eligible if you have 1560 hours but the length is shorter than 12 months.
