Dear Friends,

I have a question with regards to applying for PR under CEC.
I have been a full time employee in Canada since Oct 2017, and as per the job I performed, it falls under Skill A. I just got promoted as a technology manager on June 1, 2018 and I guess the new designation maps to Skill 0.

Can someone please suggest if I should wait till June 2019, and then apply for PR with Skill 0 as this would have given me one year experience under Skill 0( Iam getting 589 points as per the CRS calculator with this option) OR can I apply for PR under CEC with Skill A, on Oct 2018?( this option gives only 439 points)

Thanks

You can claim points from Oct 2018 since you will be completing 1 yr.
Just make sure you have relevant docs such as reference letters highlighting job duties, number of hours of work, start and end date(if any) for each role...

Have you also checked the possibility of additional 50 points for valid job offer if you qualify for one ?

Thanks for the inputs. So can I apply for the PR in Oct 2018, under Skill 0?
-CEC requirement are asking for 12 months of full-time work, which you should complete by Oct 2018
-CEC requies skilled work experience in either of these NOC skill level types:
  • Managerial jobs (NOC skill level 0)
  • Professional jobs (NOC skill type A)
  • Technical jobs and skilled trades (NOC skill type B)
It does not say that you need minimum 1 yr in a particular skill type
