May 2020 EE draw for CEC category

[sowmya shivakumarappa]

Hello Everyone,
I came to Canada on student permit (was valid thru 31 August 2018) and completed my education on 25 April 2019.
Started working from 13 May 2019 and applied for PGWP immediately.
Got my PGWP with date valid from 8 June 2019 to 8 June 2020.
Got my ITA today 1st May 2020 under CEC category. When I created my EE profile I selected Canadian experience as "none or less than one year" option as I haven't completed my one year of experience yet. However I got points for Canadian work experience and got an ITA today. When I see MEC for CEC - it mentions one should have at least 1year of skilled work experience in Canada. Also, some say that work experience is counted based on the work permit dates (i.e., 8 June 2020 in my case).
My question here is:
> Officially when my experience would be considered as 1 year - 13th May 2020 or 8th June 2020?
> Can I accept this invitation and apply for my PR? or wait for the next invitation after 13 May 2020 or 8th June 2020?

Thank you very much for your help.

I think work experience will only be counted after the date you actually got the work permit, coz in student permit you are not allowed to work full time.

Wait, I am confused here. How come you got the points when your experience says "none or less than a year"? How is your CELPIP or IELTS score? Any international work experience?

Yes I have experience of 8+ years working in India. I have IELTS score of L-8.5, S-7, R-6.5, W-6.5. I think system calculates experience rounded up to month. I think since I started working from May 13, 2018, system calculates experience counting from June to May? I am not sure on this. Better I will put a query to IRCC using web form.

Thats right system calculates month to month and it happened to me too as long as you make sure by the time you submit your Application post ITA you should have finished your 1yr work experience which includes from the date you got filed ur PGWP incase if you got job offer earlier dont count from that date.Lately the IRCC started giving 90 days so i guess you have enough time and you can submit the application after june.i havent submitted mine as im waiting for PCC but i have seen people posting in this forum that would be fine as long as by the submission time 1yr exp has to completed..Hope this helps

Hello everyone. I received my ITA in the latest round of draw of 447. My CRS Score was 465 when I created my profile. I have canadian education of 2 years, 3 years of Bachelors degree of canada (My Bsc from India) according to WES And 4 yers of Bachelors degree of Canada (My Msc from India) according to WES. Hence, total 3 degrees i have. This gave me 128points for my education. However, once I received the invitation, and I updated my profile with the other more questions required to fill up before we reach the document checklist, I found that my CRS score has now increased to 472. My education specifically has 135 points instead of 128 ( 7 point jump). I have not changed anything in the education section. It is the same as when I created my profile. My question to everyone is am I making any mistake or IRCC recalculated my points and gave me more. I am so confused. Please help me out.
