Cec new requirement .. I am in india now

[CEC_SK]

Hi guys
As per new rule for CEC, I have 12 months of experience in last 36 months and this will be valid till mid feb 2013.
But I am back to india now from canda from more that 1 year. Came back in mid feb 2011.
As i have 12 months of valid experience in last 36 months but away from canda from more than 1 years , can I apply under CEC.
I have all docs ready but before making payment want to confirm

Yes! I think you can apply for cec since you qualify. But make sure your 12 months is not 11 months and few days....

check the eligibility criteria once again before making payment..

You need to meet these requirements to apply under the Canadian Experience Class. You must:

1) plan to live outside the province of Quebec
2) have at least 12 months of full-time (or an equal amount in part-time) skilled work experience in Canada in the three years before you apply,
3) have gained your experience in Canada with the proper authorization
4) apply while working in Canada or within one year of leaving your job in Canada
5) meet the required language levels needed for your job for each language ability (speaking, reading, writing, and listening).

sorry, I think you can apply or better call CIC .. I got confused with the requirements on the website..

Here are the requirements as per instruction guide, it did not mention about applying within one year of leaving the job..

What are the requirements?

All applicants must have:

maintained temporary resident status during their qualifying period of work experience, and provide documentation to establish they had legal temporary status in Canada,
acquired at least 12 months of full-time (or the equivalent in part-time) skilled work experience in Canada in occupations that fall under Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification (NOC),
obtained the required work experience within the 36 months preceding the date their application is received,
the required level of English or French language proficiency (speaking, reading, listening and writing) for their occupational skill level,
not engaged in work in Canada without authorization,
not remained in Canada after the time authorized to do so has expired, and
not been found inadmissible to Canada on grounds such as health or security.
Note. If you do not meet all of the requirements described above, do not submit an application under the Canadian Experience Class as your application will be refused. Check the other immigration classes to see if you satisfy their eligibility criteria. Also check the CIC website regularly for changes to eligibility criteria.

I'm sorry but I don't think you can.
The eligibility requirements clearly say "apply while working in Canada or within one year of leaving your job in Canada"

Since you've left your job for more than 1 year already, that makes you ineligible to apply.
