Hi

I think I haven't been eligible but with the profile below I have become eligible and everything updated on my profile 1st of December and got an invitation in the today's draw of STEM under the CEC which when I see I think I shouldn't be eligible for. Can someone clarify can it be a mistake and bug from the system and their calculation and should I apply or not?

PS: Main problem is after study I have been working 6 months right now but seems like they counted during the studies for me too, but it just changed on 1st of December, is there any rule that changed?

Thanks in advance.

It is ok, just their system counts 1 year if you started to work at any day in January and now is any date of December. (To be 100% sure you can apply in January when you will have your 1 full year, cause you have 60 days to apply)

But I have been in school till 2023-05 and that time shouldn't count I guess.
