Question on 1 year work experience and PCC

[shogunsft]

Hello everyone I've been working at my current work place since Aug 19/2019 and I was laid off from March 30/2020 to April 24/2020 which is for 4 weeks, by my calculation I completed my 52 weeks at the end of last week (sept 11)

1. My question is can I apply for the next draw happening this week of wait till the next one, does the VO take into account 52 weeks or 1 calendar year? If going by calendar year do I have to wait until the end of this week

2. I turned 18 after I arrived in Canada, CIC website says I don't need to do PCC, I have visited my home country(India) but not continuously for 6 months or more. Will they reject my application if I don't do a police verification??

My CRS score is 466

1. As long as you have enough hours (1560 over at least 52 weeks) you can apply.
2. No, though they may ask for one.

Thank you for the reply, I most definitely have the hours but I was thinking if they want just the 52 weeks or 1 year calendar from August 19/2019 to September 19/2020 (Sept since I was laid off a month)

(assuming this is your only job), if you had two contracts drawn - 1. aug'19 - Mar'20 and 2. Apr'20 - present , then unfortunately you will not meet the "continous" part of work exp eligibility. Work experience does not need to be continuous to get points under the CRS. But, to qualify, you must have at least one year of continuous full-time paid work experience, either in Canada or abroad.

Work experience does not need to be continuous for CEC applicants.
