Hello People,

I am currently working as a Fund Accountant in Canada and I am about to file for my PR.

I have couple of questions:

I had joined a company as Financial Reporting Specialist on September 12th. I was on contract but on the payroll of company and i have received all the pay-stubs, employment confirmation, and experience letter along with job responsibilities from the same company.

The date it shows is September 12th, 2016 to April 8th, 2017.

Immediately on April 10th, 2017(Monday), I joined another company where am currently working as a Fund Accountant. My employment mentions April 10th, 2017 as my joining date. Also, they have provided me a letter of joining along with list of job responsibilities.

Q1. So after September 12th, 2017 can we say am eligible under CEC? Or do i have to complete one year at the existing company?

Q2. I am not sure which NOC code applies to me. Following are my job duties:

Employment #1: September 12th, 2016 to April 8th, 2017

Q1. So after September 12th, 2017 can we say am eligible under CEC? Or do i have to complete one year at the existing company?

You should become eligible for CEC on and after 14th September, 2017. The one year of Canadian experience doesn't have to be continuous. That said, 14th Spetember is borderline at best. To be safe, you should apply after October 1st 2017 if you plan on applying under CEC. Do you also have FSW experience?

Thank you for response. Yes i do have FSW but i dont want to get points for that because i do not have proper documents to support that and its too cumbersome. SO i guess I would like to rely on CEC for now.

do you know which NOC code would be applicable to me under CEC
