If I started the employment prior to the eligibility date, would I have to put the date when it started or the start of 5 year eligibilty date?

For example, I started employment 2016-01-01 and finished working there 2017-05-01. My eligibility period starts 2016-08-01. Should I put an empolyment date of 2016-01-01 to 2017-05-01 or 2016-08-01 to 2017-05-01?

Very similar question for the physical presence calcualtion. When I calcualte my presence as a temporary worker, should I put a date when my work visa was effective from or the dstart date of eligibility period? For example, work visa effective 2016-07-01; eligibility period starts 2016-08-01?

Or it doesn't really matter?

Thanks all!

That’s what I did. Seems like common sense, at least to me.

This might be different. Have you actually tried it yet? You might not be able to put a date before the eligibility period. I can’t remember; it’s been 2 years since I used this tool lol.

Try it out yourself and you’ll have your answer.

Thanks! I figured out with the tool. No problem with that one lol.

The employment and residence is still a bit of concern to me,, but I will put the dates when I actually started..
