Do I need one year of work experience ?

[potgoa]

Hi There,

I graduated from university in Ontario last year.
I have worked full-time as Accounting staff (Bookkeeping) for about 32 weeks.
I plan to apply for a PR under CEC in 12 weeks that will give me 44 weeks of work experience by the time of application.
My job is a permanent full-time one. I know there is a wait time after submitting application.

So, my question is can I apply when I have 44 weeks of experience or do I have to wait and complete 52 weeks first?
I am working on 42.5 hours per week.

Thank you and good luck everyone.

Yes, you will need to work for 52 weeks of full-time hours/week. If you apply with only 44 weeks of experiences, it will get rejected very soon
