SOS. Canadian Experience Class

I really need help with this!

I graduated in april last year from my University. It was a four years Bachelors Degree. After I got my three year work permit, I spent some time looking for a job and then finally worked on a contract as a technologist for 4 months. Im looking for a job now hoping to complete 1 year for the cec.

This is what I want to know..
Does it matter if my job is a contract job or with a different company?
How long does it take for the application and when should I apply for it?
Does working at an entry level job such as call centre executive or at a store or restaurant, help increase my work exp?

Many people have suggested that I should apply even before completing one year of work ex as it takes about that much time for them to open my application. Is that true?
Do I qualify for the PNP program or any other immigration?
Please help me out!!

No, it does not matter.

How long does it take for the application and when should I apply for it?

You should apply as soon as you qualify, no sooner.

Does working at an entry level job such as call centre executive or at a store or restaurant, help increase my work exp?

The job has to be NOC level O, A, or B to be considered for CEC.

No. If you apply before you qualify, your application will be rejected. Ignore "many people" and read the directions:
