CEC work experience

[pxc3110]

I have a question about cec. The ircc website implies that I'll need 52 full time weeks, which may be ahieved 3 days before 12 full months. But the ircc social media team told me that I need to work for 12 full months. So let's say I finish work on Friday in the 52th week of work. Am I eligible then or do I need to wait until next monday to apply for EE?

As long as you were able to complete 30 hours / week (max) to complete the 1560 hour requirement, should be okay. You reference letters should also be dated to show one year work anniversary.

You are asking for trouble if you are cutting things that close. If possible, work an extra week or two before applying. That said, IRCC is not going to squabble over the difference between 52 weeks (364 days) or 12 full months (365 days), or a weekend not being included in your dates of employment. You should consider your 52 full-time weeks as one year; indeed, "week" is the unit of analysis (30 hours per WEEK = full time employment).
