Hi all,

I am applying for FSW under EE. I am currently in Canada and have just graduated from my masters here. I have 11 months and 24 days of work experience back home. Do you think I have a chance to get my PR application approved?

No, you need to have one year of work experience (1560 hours). They calculate 30 hours a week (no more than 30 will be counted), so you need to have 52 weeks * 30 = 1560.

at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week). You can meet this in a few different ways:
  • full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
