Work hours calculation for CEC

[Kumar93]

Hi everyone, just need your help in understanding how CEC work experience is calculated. I started working in Canada since Feb 1st week 2022 (full time), and submitted my express entry profile yesterday. However, the express entry system is showing that I'm eligible for CEC (even though I haven't completed 1 year in Canada). Will this be of any problem if I receive an ITA under CEC, before February 2023 as I don't have 12 months of canadian experience? Please suggest, thanks.

If you receive ITA then don’t submit application until after you have one year of Canadian work experience.

As I understand it, the system only considers months, so if you started working in February (doesn't matter if it's the 1st or the 28th) it'll calculate that you've been working for a year by January of the next year. But if you get an invitation and submit your profile without actually having 365 days of experience, you might get in trouble (like being considered ineligible). If you get ITA, just wait until you complete the year to submit all the documents.

Thanks for your response, will wait for 365 days of experience.
