Express entry work experience start date

[DelPiero07]

Hi Del Piero07,

How can I prove the date I applied PGWP to CIC?

There's nothing to prove, they are aware on when you applied.

Hi Del Priero07,

I appreciate your fast reply. How about if I used a different CIC account for PR application because I forgot the previous account I applied for PGWP. But I still keep the application number of PGWP. Is that ok?

Not an issue, they can trace back any information with your UCI number.

Thanks Del Priero07, I have just one more question related to work experience.
Will work experience time still count until I receive ITA or just until I submit profile? Because I would like to submit profile 2 weeks before I get enough one year work experience.

Assuming you currently have a job then it will keep on counting.

That being said i'm not a fan of creating a profile before meeting the MEC (minimum entry criteria).

Hi Del Piero,

I just received ITA this afternoon, and based on your advice can I just wait until May 31 to get enough one year experience and submit eAPR? No need to decline the ITA right?

Thanks,

This is exactly why I don't recommend creating a profile before meeting the MEC. You now have to choose whether you want to proceed knowing you didn't meet the meet at the time of the ITA or not.

"Ministerial Instructions created under the authority of section A10.3(1)(e) list the MEC for Express Entry. Applicants must meet the MEC to be accepted into the Express Entry pool and must also meet the MEC when they are issued an ITA and when they submit their e-APR." https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/express-entry/assessing-electronic-application-on-section-a11-2.html

Note that some applicants have gone through by taking this risk while others have received rejections, up to you how you decide to proceed.

No - you need the MEC (1 year full time or part time equivalent) at the time of the ITA. Asking the same question repeatedly won't change the answer. As DelPiero says some people in your situation have proceeded to submit a PR application and their failure to meet MEC has been missed/overlooked by IRCC, but it is not guaranteed. That IRCC decision could be some weeks/months into the application process. Its up to you if you want to risk proceeding.
