Regarding the minimum 1560 hours job requirement

[ts270890]

Hi,

I have been working in Canada for last 11 months since I finished my Master's degree and got PGWP.

I work 40 hours a week. So by now I have accrued 1760 hours of work.

In the CIC website it is written:

Your experience must be at least

• 12 months of full-time work
  • 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

So I was wondering am I already eligible to submit my Express Entry application or should I wait one more month ?

Wait until at least 12 complete months have been done. The minimum requirements are 1560 hours AND one full year.

Wait till you have 52 weeks of work experience. All hours in excess of 30 hrs/week do not count. Hope this helps.
