Got ITA on the day of completion of 1 year Canadian Work Experience

[monkeyspanner]

I have salaried job. And I just took one day off in year and it was paid.
so you are telling if someone do not get paid holidays and if he didn’t take any holiday than 50 weeks is one year?

To qualify you need 52 weeks of full time hours. IRCC define full time as 30 hours or more per week. So you need 52 x 30 =1560 hours as IRCC only count a maximum of 30 hours per week. Most jobs accumulate 4% of wages as holiday pay which is either paid at the end of the job or as a lump sum to take your anual leave. So IRCC will count up to 2 weeks of holiday towards your 52 weeks. That would be 60 hours towards the 1560 total. So if you have worked a full year without actual holidays they would count 54 weeks experience. Most people aim for a couple of weeks extra but you should be OK setting up your profile on 27th as Vessela suggested. Good luck with the ITA.

Hey Monkeyspanner,
I just want to see if I understand it correct. The holiday pay accrued should be worth two weeks of work and that would be counted as well? If I am not wrong, I should have 80 hrs worth holiday pay or something like that?

It will depend on your contract what pay you get. A lot of jobs calculate at 4% of gross and it should be shown on your paystub what amount you have accumulated. IRCC will allow a maximum of two weeks holiday in any 52 to count towards your experience. Because IRCC count a maximum of 30 hours per week that would be 60hours for two weeks.

Hello All,

I've started my work on 22 October 2018. I was wondering that Can I update my job experience to two years in my application now?
I'd appreciate if you could answer my question.

As per my view, it is depends on your CRS score. If you update it today and get invitation on next draw which is probably on 14th October. So at that time you are still short for 9 days for two year. But if you get invitation on 28th October draw then you will complete two years at that time.

However, Some people says that you have to complete two years when you submit all the documents not when you get ITA.

Thank you

Yes you can. As long as you have minimum one year at the date of the ITA and two when you submit your PR application.

Hi All, wanted a clarification: I'm in the middle of deciding to go for a 1 yr diploma which will get me 1 yr PGWP.
I can only apply for express entry after completion of 1 yr of canadian work experience.
In this case, please can someone clarify when I should be applying for BOWP and is there an extension on the same.
I'm 32 currently and will be applying for next year May intake.
