I find a job in a start-up company as a software developer. I plan to work for one year and apply CEC. However, the company told me the working experience is not valid for CEC, and I need to find a company which has been built up for at least 3 years.

I am totally lost. Are there some minimum requirements about the company if I want to apply PR through CEC, like registered capital, employee number, registered time?

Thanks!

Never heard of it. Assuming the co has proper website and co info which cic can verify with available sources, it should be fine. Also, they should be able to provide you T4 info.

There is no such requirement to apply for CEC. You will be eligible after you have worked for a year as a full time employee.

there is no minimum requirement for Company. Even if company is established the day before you joined it, it doesnt really matter. All that matter is you are paid, T4 is issued for particular year you worked, you get proper duty letter or reference letter from you company signed by authorized person, etc. When you apply under CEC, VO had nothing to do with you company as far as its legally established. Someone is surely feeding you wrong information.

What they are talking about is may be PNP. CIC have some requirements for people applying under PNP. :)

Thanks! And I forgot to mention, it is a contract full-time job. Is this still fine for CEC?
