Declaring work experience

[uziinmontreal321]

Hi all,

I currently held my first job in Canada in my NOC field but I was let go from the job just prior to it would have been 1 year of work experience. I was let go just 2 weeks prior it would have been a complete 1 year of work experience.

Now, I created my profile in the Express Entry and in the work history section, there is only month and year for 'From' and 'To' fields to specify for the work experience. I accurately portrayed the beginning and end month of my work experience. After I was finished submitting my Express Entry profile, in my total points, I was awarded points for 1 year of Canadian work experience, however, in my Record of Employment, I am 2 weeks short of 1 year.

Should I be worried of the fact that the application wizard didn't ask to specify the days of the work experience, only month and year? Could this cause an issue when I am asked to submit documents regarding my work experience?

Any suggestions on how should I deal with this?

That´s terrible, so sorry, and what bad timing.

Yes, and yes. Many people have been refused because the system told them they were eligible, when they were not. IRCC tells you that it is your responsibility to make sure you are eligible before you apply.

You can remove the Canadian experience from your profile until you actually complete one year. (I assume you also have foreign work experience?) Hopefully you will be able to find another job before too long to complete the one year.
