I have a question very serious for me about EE under CEC. I graduate a post secondary school in BC in 2013 then worked for over 1 year with PGWP as an automotive tech. but I couldn't find any employer who could extend my work permit at that time so I had to go back home country in Jan 2015. now I came to Canada again with LMIA which is different job title and expecting to get ITA at next draw because I got extra 600 CRS points.
what I'm wondering is am I still eligible to apply for CEC category without 1 yr experience from current job title? I'm afraid I might have to work another one more year to be eligible to apply for PR
I think technically you will have 1 year, but just not in the job you have your LMIA for. I think try and apply, if they reject your application at least you will know for sure rather than sticking it out for a year when you could have already got your PR.
As long as the experience is within the past 3 years and it is skilled, it will count for the purpose of CEC. It does not have to be in a single NOC, as long as it is skilled, it counts.
