Sorry if this has been answered before, please let me know where as I've tried searching all over the internet for this. I'm applying for EE under CEC.
I started working on 10th July 2023. On 10th July 2025 it will be 2 years of work experience for me, meaning my CRS score will get boosted, which would make me eligible to receive an ITA, so I'm hoping that after July 10th, I will receive one.
However, there is an issue. I took 2 weeks of unpaid time in 2024, and 2 weeks of unpaid time starting this year, so I have a total of 1 month of unpaid time accumulated so far. Based on my contract, I work 40 hours per week. However, IRCC only uses atmost 30 hours per week for the work experience calculation. Does this mean that my start date is now pushed to 10th June 2023? Even though this is different from what is on the contract? Should I change this on the portal?
More importantly, lets say that July 11th 2025, I receive an ITA. I know that ITA needs to be accepted within 60 days. So if I keep working and accept and submit my application after 10th June 2025, will that be fine because I'll have 2 years of work experience even after my upaid vacation by then?
Please help I'm in shambles.
