Low Salary. does it matter?

[YouthTree]

Does the one year of work experience to qualify under the Canadian Experience Class include non-paid employment? Is there a minimum wage requirement for qualifying employment?

Non-paid employment does not qualify under the Canadian Experience Class. You must have been paid a wage (or earned a commission) but there is no minimum wage requirement for your qualifying work experience.

Full-time work experience means working at least 30 paid hours per week. To qualify, you must have skilled work experience, meaning work in occupations listed at NOC Skill Type 0 (managerial), or NOC Skill Level A (professional occupations) or NOC skill Level B (technical and trade occupations).

Hello,
Recently, I got job as a cnc machinist with NOC code 7231.I am getting paid 17.05 CAD. Does that amount of salary affect my eligibility for express entry after 1 year? My company is located at Huron park,Ontario. It is approx 50 km away from London, Ontario.
Please help me. Should I keep this job or change it.

Thank you so much @Peacekeeper87 .
Actually, some of my friends are getting 19-20$ for CNC machinist position.yet, low wage for CNC machinist position is 16$. It is mentioned in job bank with 7231 NOC code. So, I should keep this job. Am I right?

2) my second question is that does the probationary period count in a 1 year skilled work experience? For example, if I start my job start of November,2018 then can I apply for PR after 1 year in November, 2019?

Thanks

Yes you can keep the job. Wage cannot be used in work experience evaluation. There has been a court order on this.
Yes, 1 year is 1 year, even with a probationary period.

Hi Positivemindset15,
I'm applying based on Tim Hortons supervisor position. I was getting paid minimum wage. Hope that helps.

Hi EkkoRanga! Did u get your PR?

 

[positivemindset15]

My employer will give me the job letter with all my duties and responsibilities listed. Does my wage rate have to be certain dollars per hour or does it not matter?
