Your experience must be at least 12 months of full-time (30 hours of paid work per week or more) or an equal amount in part-time hours.

Full Time
30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1560 hours)

What does this imply?
Somebody who is working full time for 37.5 hrs every week completes his 1560 hrs in 42 weeks i.e. 10-11 months. So he can apply for CEC after completing his hours or he is only elgible to apply after completing 12 months in full time in NOC 0, A, B.
Please clear.

When I called CIC help center they said we need to have full 12 months before you apply.

I would love to agree to you but with my own experiences and after reading other topics on this forum I realize that the call center agents tend to have their own answers. They are not professionally trained and often don't come up with consistent and definite answers.

Your experience must be at least 12 months of full-time (30 hours of paid work per week or more) or an equal amount in part-time hours.

Full Time
30 hours OR MORE per week for 52 weeks (12 months) = 1 year full time

If you work full-time, regardless of whether it is 30 or 35 or 45 or 65 hours per week, you have to work for one full year before you qualify.

Part-time
Less than 30 hours per week, work until you reach 1560 hours (takes more than 1 year).

Planning in DEC 2015
EE is misleading in thus case. If you enter September 2013 to Aug 2014 it shows you are eligible and take 12 months count but if somehow dates are considered like 4tb sept to Aug 31. Then we have real issue which is system fault.
