Hi there, I´m thinking about applying to PR through CEC. I have been working 40h/week since June, 1st. My visa expires on February, 12th. If i count my hours, one week before my visa expires I will have the 1560 hours that immigration requires. Will that be right or even though i have the hours I should wait till June, 1st 2021 to have the 1 year? Thanks!

You need to wait until June 1 before you can claim one year of work experience.

No. You need to have 52 separate weeks where you worked at least 30 hours.

Sorry, I don’t understand that. Then I need to count again the hours after the implied status?

I may not have understood your answer. Provide more details. When you say that you will have implied status, do you mean as a worker or visitor? If worker, then on what basis will you have implied status and will you continue working? Provide as many details as you can.

Okay. So, I’m on a IEC visa that expires February 12th. I’ll be applying to something before that time so eventually I’ll be on implied status as worker and working for the same company till a decision is made. I have read that hours worked under implied status don’t count for CEC.

What will you be applying for? Details matter here a great deal.

If you end up applying for an extension that's refused, you most likely won't be able to count any work experience you gain after the IEC expires towards PR.

Yep, I will be applying to BC PNP Skill Workers streams, as I´m in BC. just wondering what happens if they refuse the application and my IEC visa is expired.
