In Germany and Netherland, you need to have a certain salary to apply for one. You don't need to live in the country for 2-5 years to do so (that helps of course).

EDIT: I am actually not sure about Netherlands.
I'm talking about PR. You can get a blue card if you get a job above a certain salary. Then by living for a while, you'll get PR ( it goes by different names in different countries).

Really bad luck. I remember one of the members here got an ITA in the last FSW draw in Dec 2020, he rejected it because he had some inconsequential mistake on his EE profile, hoping to correct it before the next draw. I hope he is okay now.
and all those false rumours about having to reject an ITA because ‘its not 3 years of work experience until its 1095 days’ has probably also contributed to a lot of heartbreak. literally, why would IRCC extend ITAs to people who don’t make the cut and expect them to reject it? as a test of faith? IRCC is well aware that there are people that don’t necessarily start working somewhere at the start of a month, but in GCMS notes, it clearly shows that employment period is calculated in months instead of days or weeks. lots of people have been rejecting ITAs based on this false rumour for years, and it’s perpetuated by people on r/immigrationcanada continuing to propagate this bad information

IRCC extended an ITA because the applicant filled up the form and said that they have 3 years of work experience. I don't see anything wrong with that? I believe it's the applicant's responsibility to make sure everything in the form and whatever they are submitting is accurate and true. (The applicant is even reminded that when they finalize their EE profile submission).

That's very anecdotal evidence.

It literally says it here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers.html on how work experience is calculated.

  • at least 1 year of continuous workor 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)
    • equal amount in part-time work:for example 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
      • You can work as many part-time jobs as you need to meet this requirement
    • full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
If an applicant slipped through the cracks on this requirement, then they got lucky. If the applicant was called out then they can't contest anything because they, in fact, did not have 3 years of work experience imo.
