CEC 1 year experience calculation.

[jes_ON]

My IEC expires on December 17th, and I wont have my 1 year CEC experience until November 13th, plus some extra time for the 4 un-paid days I'm taking.
My understanding is that Ill have to wait until after this time to put my name in the pool, wait to get an ITA and cant apply for a BOWP until I get an AOR.....

This is all true. If you have assessed what your CRS score is (or will be), though, you will have a better sense of how likely you are to get an ITA right away. If your score is high enough, you could prepare all your documents in advance and be ready to submit. You could then apply for the BOWP as soon as you get the AOR.

The bad news - you would have to wait until your BOWP is issued to be eligible to work. You would have implied status to stay in the country as a visitor, but not to work. This is an unfortunate aspect of the IEC permit.

There is always the LMIA-approved TWP route, if you are sufficiently valuable to your employer.

If this is not all done before December 17th, would I have to leave Canada? Is there any chance to stay and continue to work?

You could stay and work if you were able to get a new work permit.

You have to be physically in Canada. As of now you need two more months of work experience in Canada in order to count it as a year of Canadian work experience.

Thanks @jes_ON, really helpful advice. If I don't get my BOWP in time, is it possible to leave. Maybe go travelling South America say?!
All whilst my name is in a pool waiting for an ITA for CEC??

I'm hoping my score is high enough and I get an ITA right away, but who knows what it will be come November!!!

Do you know the ETA for BOWP?

Well, Canada is not a prison, you can leave any time you want. However, you lose implied status if you leave. Whether or not you can return as a visitor depends on your eligiblity (e..g citizenship, visa requirements, etc.)

On top of that, you have to be "currently in Canada" to be eligible for the BOWP:

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/work-canada/extend-permit/bridging-open-work-permit.html

I honestly have no idea what they mean by that, whether you have to be physically present or just a resident; at the time you apply or the entire processing time; or...

So - there *could* be consequences to leaving.

I'm hoping my score is high enough and I get an ITA right away, but who knows what it will be come November!!!
If you don't get the ITA right away and your current permit expires, you will no longer be eligible for the BOWP.

Do you know the ETA for BOWP?

It depends... they cannot issue the BOWP until your PR application has passed completeness check. This sometimes takes longer for some than others. It can take 2-4 months.

@jes_ON I wish it was a prison and I couldn't leave!!!
From hearing that it seems very unlikely with my time frame that I'll will be able to get it all done in time. I could still apply for CEC and leave when my IEC expires and just wait for an invitation, in South America?!
Thanks

You do not have to be in Canada to apply or while waiting for your PR application to be processed. But getting an ITA does not give you any status to come back, you would have to wait until you were approved and receive your COPR to come back...

 

[VIVICLEO]

Your question isn't entirely clear. Are you still on a study permit or are you on a PGWP? The time you are on maternity leave cannot be counted as work experience towards PR. Also, any work experience during your studies cannot be counted towards PR.

Thank you for your replies. I already separated and applying for my PR through CEC alone with my kids. My kids are Canadian citizens.

My spouse (primary applicant) three years of work experience ended on Feb 26. I had given the work experience as February as it asks only monthly in the express entry profile. But I got the points for three years (extra 25 points) in January itself. I checked that it got automatically updated and I did not make any change. I got my ITA under FSW on Jan 23. I accepted the ITA and to be on the safer side, I made sure three years of work experience got completed and then got my spouse work experience letter on March 5th and got my aor on March 7th after submission of my application. My cutoff would become low than the draw score if they calculate it as two years and I would lose that extra 25 points . The system automatically updated the points before one month of 3 year work experience and I did not have three years experience during ita but had 3 years and complete points during eapr submission. Am I safe ?? Kindly share Ur views .

 

[Ambrose4045]

I pass the mec for FSW as I have 78 points and the requirement is only 67 points.

The rules are clear, as long as you can prove you are eligible for the CRS score at the time you submit your eAPR, you can keep the score : )
