Noc: 1224

Do i have to work minimum one year to be eligible ?

[size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt][size=10pt]How much work experience do I need to apply under the Canadian Experience Class?

You must have earned at least one year of full-time skilled work experience (or the equivalent in part-time) in Canada within the three years before we receive your application for permanent residence under the Canadian Experience Class.

Your skilled work experience does not have to be continuous but it must total one year of full-time work altogether.

“Full-time” means at least 30 hours of paid work in one week. One year of full-time work is at least 1560 hours.

The requirement is to get BOTH.

A minimum of 1 year and 1560 hours of work.

1600 hours in 10 months will not be considered meeting the requirements for CEC.

OP 25a (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op25A-eng.pdf), section 6.3, "Full-time work". In particular:

Work experience must be acquired over a period of at least one year; work in excess of 30 hours per week over a shorter period cannot compensate for any shorter overall period of experience.

even part time job, one year must be satisfied.

the equivalent of 1 year of full time , means : e.g A finish 1560 hours full time in one year.

then B must finish 1560 hours in part time in one year.

so if you finish 1560 hours in part time in less than one year,

then they are not equivalent.

Can I count part-time work toward the work experience requirement?

You can count part-time work toward the work experience requirement, as long as you were not a full-time student at the time.

However, you must have gained the equivalent amount of experience as someone who worked full-time for at least one year (1560 hours)

It means you cannot work for less than a full time worker (min 1 year) and part time usually means min 18h but less than 30h (count the numbers, even working 29h you wont get 1560h)- I thought it was obvious

Request to click your "Caps Lock" button once please.

Though agree with "yixiaop26" , not very clear with part time requirement how ELIG is calculated .

dell2 if you are working full time , as of now you are not eligible and I guess part time too. correct me if I am wrong for part time.

you can apply under EE , if you think EE is really really bad for you, you can try PNP.

EE requires that you be eligible for one of the programs (FSW, CEC, FST), all of which require at least 1 year of skilled work experience.

I've applied for nomination in Dec2013 till now no answer. Ainp is useless . I'll try EE only.
So if you are eligible for AINP you will get it soon. The cap for 2014 has been reached for Alberta nominations so rest of applications have to wait for 2015. The processing time is at least 12 months so you might get your nomination even in January.
With Alberta Nomination you will get Invitation to apply for sure
