Work experience less than 1560 hours

[IswaryArun]

I have Canadian work experience of 1291 hours, which is about 10 and a 1/2 months of work (NOC B). Can I not get any points at all for that experience? Please advise. TIA

No you cant. Plus 30 hours per week is what is considered which means that you must work for 1 full year.

Thank you. I have one other question. Say, I complete a year in my current job this January. Do I have to manually update the year of experience or will it automatically be added and calculated as I’ve updated my current job in my express entry profile? TIA

Yes you do

You must have worked for at least 1560 hours over a period of 52 weeks (1 year) or more. Only 30 hours or less are counted for each week.
Hence, each week you have worked more than 30 hours will only add 30 hours to your hour count.

NO, you cannot apply with just 1291 hours, you are not eligible. You do not meet the minimum criteria for CEC. I mean, you could apply, but you are just going to receive a nice rejection letter and lose some money.
