Hi guys!

First of all thanks for your support in this forum, it is an invaluable help :)

As the cap for CEC aplications are running pretty tight for some of the NOCs (including mine...) I am already trying to sort things out (filling documents, gathering documents and information,...) It is quite possible I don´t get my required work experience on time, and I am afraid that due to over representation of aplicants in my field, they would just completely cap my NOC for the next year (or who knows whatever could happen) so I ask for your help as to figure out what would be the first day I am entitled to apply under CEC given the following experience times in a full time (40h) skilled NOC B profession.

April 15th 2013-Dec 11th 2013
Jan 27th 2014-On going and probably until Aug 2014

So I am confused as how would they count my experience and what would be the first possible day to send my aplication, I have calculated it would be Saturday May 31st, if I am right could I send it that very same day? or next day Sunday June 1st? even if it is sunday?. I would very much appreciate any help on this matter :) Have a great weekend! :D

They will look at your reference letter(s) to calculate your work experience. So it does not matter when you send it. Just make sure based on your letter(s) you have 12 months full time experience.

Hey ferna, thanks for your answer.

Since I will have to send it after I have the hole year experience and, as I said the cap is running VERY tight, it does matter when I send the aplication. Actually I want to send it the first possible day... that is why I ask for your help :)

May 31st sounds about right but, just to be sure, maybe you should send it on Monday June 2nd. You should also make sure that when you send your application, the reference letter is dated of June 2nd. If your employer writes the letter on May 26th and dates it May 26th, the visa officer won't have proof that you worked from May 26th to May 31st and your application will be rejected because you will be missing one week of experience on paper.

Hope this helps!
