Numerous posts on this forum say the experience is counted from the day of ITA and not from profile creation. Now that may very well be the case if you are relying on points from the Canadian Work Experience and without it your points will go below the cut-off points. However with a 75 points minimum I doubt that can be possible.

The law for permanent residence though says that you qualify for Canadian Experience Class
(2) A foreign national is a member of the Canadian experience class if
  • (a) they have acquired in Canada, within the three years before the date on which their application for permanent residence is made, at least one year of full-time work experience, or the equivalent in part-time work experience, in one or more occupations that are listed in Skill Type 0 Management Occupations or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification matrix, exclusive of restricted occupations; and

Very interesting dilemma indeed and one that I am reading through as well.
I have always wondered whether the phrase “have acquired one year full time Canada experience within three years” means (1) that one full year should be within three years or (2) that your one year experience should be acquired within three years.

For example, a person had worked from February 2018 to February 2019. Is she/he qualified for the CEC if she/he applies on March 2021? If (1) is correct, she/he is not qualified but if (2) is correct, she/he is. Does anyone know this?

Still waiting for ITA. July,2020 profile.

And I have a question. I used the same account to apply WP and VR before. But every time no update email as approved. Is it anything wrong due to I cannot receive the ITA email?

I think your full one year experience should be obtained WITHIN the past 3 years.

Hi Everyone, I got ITA yesterday, I filled few details and logged out. Today morning I see another email that there is a status update on my IRCC account and unable to login since then.
Did any of you receive another notification after ITA and if you have got it were you able to open it?

You have to have 1 year (1560 hrs) within last 3 years (right before your application) and that does not have to be continuous either and can be with more than one employer.

Are you guys able to login? I keep on getting "502 bad gateway". Looks like they didn't prepare beforehand for the amount of users trying to use their platform at the same time.
