one year at job with four weeks vacations, does it have to be 52 weeks exact?

[SecularFirst]

Hello everyone,
I hope someone would be able to enlighten me on the issue here. I started my current job on January 5, 2015. I took four weeks off in the month of May 2015, due to some unavoidable personal issues and went back to my home country. I joined again exactly after 4 weeks. As I was quite new at the job, the leave was unpaid but my employer was kind enough to have me continue the job after 4 weeks break.

Now I am completing one year on job on January 5, 2016. Should I wait for 4 more weeks for One year qualifying experience under CEC or can I go ahead with making my profile?
Also, I am working full time (40hours a week), so I am above the 1560 hours needed for CEC. If i make a profile and What if I receive ITA in January 2016, should I decline it then?

Thanks

If you have the documents to prove that you worked 1560 hours then go ahead else I highly recommend to wait for additional 4 weeks just to be safe.

With cic you can never be certain.

aparently it won't count towards your cec experience as you took a month off and that was unpaid. Cic clearly mention 12 months of work is required to qualfly for cec. It that was paid then it would have counted towards your cec exprence . I would say wait for a month and apply then .

The only time off that CIC counts is 2 weeks of paid vacation. Even if you take a 4 week "paid" vacation it won't count.
If you worked 50 of 52 weeks then only it is considered 1 year
