how to define one-year work experience

[bruceyuan]

Hi,

I am currently working a temporary position from May 29, 2017 to Dec 31, 2018. I was able to get into EE pool on May 1st, 2018 and got ITA'ed on May 9th. However, strictly, I have not been working for 12 months by now. I am planning to submit the supporting documents on June 1st. Will there be a problem if I do so?

Thanks in advance.

Why did you create a profile before meeting the MEC? (minimum entry criteria).

The system said I met the MEC of CEC. I had been working 12 months but not 365 days by May 1st.

You don't meet the MEC as of now.

Should I withdraw and create another profile in June?

The problem with what you're trying to do is that you do not meet the MEC when receiving your ITA. You will certain meet it if you're planning on submitting your e-APR by June 1st, but it's more about whether you want to take the risk. Some people have been lucky, others not so much.
