The 3-year requirement for STEM occupations in the Express Entry system is calculated from the date of your Express Entry profile creation. This means that if you have 1 year of work experience in a STEM occupation within the past 3 years, and you create your Express Entry profile today, you will be eligible for the STEM occupations category.
The 10-year work experience rule is still in effect for the Express Entry system, but it is not relevant for the STEM occupations category. This means that you can still be eligible for the STEM occupations category even if you do not have 10 years of total work experience.
Here is a summary of the eligibility requirements for the STEM occupations category:
- You must have a valid Express Entry profile.
- You must have at least 6 months of continuous work experience in a single occupation listed in the table below.
- Your work experience must have been acquired within the past 3 years from the date of your Express Entry profile creation.
- You must meet the language and education requirements for the Express Entry system.
I hope this helps!
Thanks for the response @Raptor33 + @CNP . As per Raptor
"The 3-year requirement for STEM occupations in the Express Entry system is calculated from the date of your Express Entry profile creation.

Raptor where did you get this info from - The 3-year requirement for STEM occupations in the Express Entry system is calculated from the date of your Express Entry profile creation?
And so if that is true and my profile was created in August 2022, then I need 1 year continous work ex from August 2019 to August 2022?
This is stated on the Government of Canada website:

Raptor not sure where you are getting that statement from, cause in my view it is the following:
Eligibility for the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) occupations category
To be eligible, you must
- have accumulated, within the past 3 years, at least 6 months of continuous work experience (in Canada or abroad) in a single occupation listed in the table below
- meet all of the requirements in the instructions for that round

Could you share the URL where this line is mentioned @Raptor33 - The 3-year period is calculated from the date your Express Entry profile was created.
I'd actually say 3 years from creation/ITA makes more sense. IRCC's probably quite lazy, so they wouldn't go so far as to add another process+documentation of verifying your category-based invitations would they? Ideally nothing about the reviewing process should change, only the rounds of invitations.
I think that at least the same that healthcare has now... around 2000... But I trully hope that it will be enough for me to be selected haha.
