Express Entry Canadian work experience 11 months not full 12 months..plz help!!

[Roop@brar]

You can submit now. 465 is way above cut off point. If you still want something to make you feel safe, you can always write something in the letter of explanation or call CIC to make sure. I'm sure when you read your ITA carefully, you will notice that they said: they don't reject you if after they manually recalculate your score, you are still above the cut off for your round.

Last time when I submitted, The PR profile is the same as the express entry profile, mean month/year.

thank u so much.. It helped a lot

You do not qualify for PR under CEC until you complete 12 months of work experience. CIC is VERY strict about it and your application WILL be rejected if you apply when you do not qualify.

Hi Express PR,

I wanted to know, how you went about your case, since I am in a similar situation with 10 months and 2 weeks. Aug 2011 to july 2012. System accepts it as 1 year, but the duration is definitely less. Did you get your PR, and was your Canadian experience considered as one year experience.

Thanks,
Nishanth.

Hi Nishant,
I had the same problem as your (11 months 4 days - May 2016 to Apr 2017). I am PR now. This is what I did. In the EE profile submission, I moved the start of my Canada work exp to June 2016 so as to not get false qualification in CEC by the system. My Canadian experience in May 2016 was only of 6 days. Rest of the month I was working in India.
After I got invited under FSW, I did the same while submitting the application and mentioned everything in the Letter of Explanation.
Everything went well.

Hope this helps!!

Hi,

I have started my current job on September 21st, 2015. I submitted my profile showing this information in April, 2018 with two plus years of experience and score of 440. On August 8th, my actual work experience became 2 years, 10 months and 17 days but my express entry profile has calculated this as three year work experience on its own. Even though it has not reached three years like I explained. Because of this calculation, I ended up gaining 25 extra points, received the ITA which shows that I have 465 points now. With the original score (440 points), I should not have been invited in the last round which took place on August 8th, in spite of the fact that the cut off score was 440. Because the last round invited only those profiles which were submitted before January, 2018 and mine was submitted in April, 2018.

Can you please suggest what I should do now?

1. Should I decline this invitation so that my profile remains active in the pool for the next one and half months and keep declining until the duration of my work experience becomes 3 years in September 21st for real?

2. Should I accept the invitation as the profile thinks I am eligible?

@Eucalyptus could you please help?

I would decline it and wait. Accepting ITA based on a wrong calculation could land you in trouble. Play it safe. In all cases you have a good score so why risk it

Perhaps what you meant is that with the tie-breaking rule, you would not have been invited... you are probably correct.

1. Should I decline this invitation so that my profile remains active in the pool for the next one and half months and keep declining until the duration of my work experience becomes 3 years in September 21st for real?

2. Should I accept the invitation as the profile thinks I am eligible?

Since this affects only your CRS score and not your eligibility for CEC, you can wait until after you complete the 3rd year and then submit your eAPR.

MEC (minimum eligibility criteria) must be met at the time of the ITA.
CRS points must be valid at the time you submit your eAPR.

SO, if you feel better, you can decline and go back into the pool, but it's not necessary.

Hi Everyone,

I have started my current job on Dec 5th 2017 and I had a 1 year contract in this job, however my company cancelled my contract 4 days before my contract end date. So now I do not have a complete 1 year of work experience. Can you guys suggest what are my options,

1. Can I start working for some other company and apply for pr after 4 days on job ? (which will give me 1 year of experience)
2. I shall wait 6 months before I apply for PR ?
3. Shall I just apply now and explain CIC about my situation ?

1st option should definitely work provided your work permit is still valid and you can get a 0/A/B level job.

Hi
I'm a geologist working in a gold mine in northern Quebec. I live in Ottawa, Ontario. And since the mine is in the middle of nowhere (as basically most mines in Canada), Our schedule is a little different than normal.

I'm a full-time Employee with benefits. I got hired on May 15th, 2018, so I'm completing one year very soon. However, I'm on a rotational schedule of fifteen (15) days on – thirteen (13) days off. The standard hours of work is 10 hours a day. As of May 15th, 2019, I will have worked approx. 2,240 hours.

So based on that rotational schedule, there is always one week (out of 4) of the month that I am off. So If I do the math based on the 3 weeks of work and the "30 hours max"; I will end up with 1173 hours only.

Again, I'm a fulltime employee with benefits and a stable constant salary that never changes no matter how my rotation is managed. I got my contract and a letter from work that can prove that as well and clearly indicates that I'm a full-time employee. And remember it is a remote job, It is an 11 hours drive to get to work and it is in the middle of the woods of northern Quebec.

You need to have met the minimum requirements at the time of receiving the invitation. You can enter the pool now, but you shouldn't accept any ITA before the 13th of September.

There's only likely to be one draw that you need to decline, so it's not a big deal.
