Hello everyone,
I received the invitation to apply for Canadian Experience Class with less than a year work experience. I started working 27 July,2015 and I’ve got the invitation on 1 June,2016. My weekly hours are 37.5. Should I accept the invitation or not? Has anybody have the same situation?
Thank you
I am in the same situation. I received ITA on 1-June-2016. I think you have 44 weeks and 3 days (44.3*30= 1410hrs) as of 1-June-2016.
As per my PGWP issue date, I am short of 18 days for 52 weeks (i.e, 49 weeks and 1473 hrs) .
I am not 100% sure , whether the work experience that I have gained while WAITING for PGWP will be counted towards my 1 year of Canadian experience. If it counts, I completed my 52 weeks (i.e., 54.8 full-time weeks and 1653hrs).
One of the expert (Raj) suggested me that it will be counted. But it is up to the discretion of the officer to decide itseems.
I am totally confused now. Whether to accept the invitation or not?
Thanks. I understand that my work experience is less than a year but I cant understand that why the system send me an invitation????and because CIC send the invitation I should accept or not?
Because CIC system currently considers only the month and year. There is no option to enter the day. As per the system, July-Jun is 1 year. That is the reason we got points and invitation.
Wait until it passes your 1 year mark then decline. If you immediately decline that ITA at this time, you may get another ITA before your 1 year. Although it doesn't really matter declining multiple times, you can save the very ITA to somebody else who really needs.
