Hi, my situation is this:

I started working on November 9, 2020 at 40 hours a week.
Then I will complete 1,560 hours or 52 weeks on November 5, 2021.

But this is not One calendar year or 12 months. Am I still eligible for CEC? (other criteria met)

Reason I'm asking is I will open my EE profile soon and what if I get ITA between November 5 and November 9, 2021, Can I still accept it?

According to this link here they will count a maximum of 30hrs per week so it would need to be the full 12 calendar months https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/canadian-experience-class.html#minimum
Yes, I have read the requirements. The thing is Nov 5, 2021 is when I complete 1,560 hours or 52 weeks but Nov 9, 2021 is when I complete the actual One year. So do I meet the requirement on Nov 5 or need to wait till Nov 9?

Hi, I am exactly in the same situation. May I ask how it went after all?
