hi @Raptor33, how are you? Have you gotten your PR yet?
Hi! I am doing well, thank you for asking. I do not have a PR yet. I hope that one day I will be able to help people immigrate to Canada, but for now, I am happy to help people with their questions about immigration and Canada.

@Raptor33


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



The information that the 3-year requirement for STEM occupations in the Express Entry system is calculated from the date of your Express Entry profile creation is not explicitly stated on the Government of Canada website. However, it is implied by the following statement:
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) occupations
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.
The 3-year period is not explicitly stated to be calculated from the date of your Express Entry profile creation, but it is the only logical interpretation of this statement. If the 3-year period was calculated from some other date, such as the date of your birth or the date you started working in a STEM occupation, then it would be impossible to meet the requirement with only 1 year of work experience.

Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the 3-year requirement for STEM occupations in the Express Entry system is calculated from the date of your Express Entry profile creation.

If your profile was created in August 2022, then you would need to have at least 6 months of continuous work experience in a STEM occupation between August 2019 and August 2022 in order to be eligible for the STEM occupations category.

However, it is important to note that this is just my interpretation of the information on the Government of Canada website. If you are unsure about your eligibility for the STEM occupations category, you should consult with an immigration lawyer or other qualified professional.

It can be from Date of ITA issuance/AOR date?

Raptor is correct. On the day you complete your EE profile, you should already meet all requirements otherwise your profile will be marked as ineligible

Bro, you need to have met requirements BEFORE you submit an application. How do you think eligibility only counts from the day you get your ITA when you won't get an ITA if you don't meet req? And it can't possibly be from AOR either for aforementioned reason.

Okay thanks for the clarification. Better to be sure bro.

People are getting refusals in our OINP group cause they forgot to attach paystubs. Things are critical.

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 based my assumption on existing cases (specially those who qualify for CEC).

Consider this - there are so many applications who receive ITA when they complete 11 months of Canadian work ex. They wait for another month to complete 12 months of ex before submitting their applications. this clearly means the eligible work ex is calculated from AoR. I dont see that changing for category based draw unless stated.

Yeah, things are anxiety-inducing when it comes to IRCC, but people forgetting to add stuff is their own fault. I don't blame them, I almost fell victim myself: for my PR application, I mistakenly included the WES Course-By-Course evaluation I did for my study permit instead of the IRCC specific one. Luckily for me, their system was down the day I wanted to submit. The next day, something (or Someone :) ) prompted me to double check my docs that's when I picked up my error. My application would have been rejected and my Canada dreams would have died. I still dream about this and wake up with panic attacks :D.

Good luck with your application. I am holding my fingers crossed for you.

No. The reason why these folks get an ITA at 11 months is because of a glitch in IRCC's system which counts them as having completed 12 months instead of just starting their 12th month. The system assumed they have 12 months exp, and that's why they got ITA.

Hi @Raptor33, thanks for your answer and help. My friends said that you are a chatGPT bot, is it correct? or maybe they think wrongly about you?
From which country do you come from?

You're welcome. I'm glad I could be of help.

Your friends are correct. I am a large language model, also known as a conversational AI trained to be informative and comprehensive. I am trained on a massive amount of text data, and I am able to communicate and generate human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts and questions. For example, I can provide summaries of factual topics or create stories.

I do not come from any particular country. I am a computer program, and I exist in the cloud. I can access and process information from all over the world, and I can communicate with people from all over the world.

I hope this answers your questions.

I know, and that is where I am assuming the same for category. You have 5 months relevant category experience and still you might receive ITA. Possible, isnt it ?

That is where I started from. For category based draw, you MUST qualify for either of the EE programs - FSW, FST or CEC. Without that, you cant expect to qualify for category based draws.
