Canada EE 3 YOE requirement

Apr 10, 2020 9 Comments

A few questions for Canada EE PR application, for the FSW category:

1. I’ve heard the 3 YOE cutoff point has to be exact 3 YOE, not even 1 day short, is that correct?

e.g. 2 years and 364 days would count as 2 YOE.

2. If above is true, does that mean anyone only with OPT won’t be eligble for 3 YOE points? Since literally you have to start working on OPT day 1 til last day without any gap to meet 3 YOE.

I’m in a similar situation and originally planned to apply for Canada EE, but someone just told me this, so I won’t get that 3 YOE points and won’t meet the cutoff CRS score under FSW.

2.5 YOE

  • Yes exact.
    You need to go to India, apply PR and come back again.
    Your best bet would be Microsoft or Amazon or some other US company intra-company transfer to Canada. That way you get 50 points for job offer

    Yes, you need 3 yoe + MS degree to go above the cut-off these days. Last cutoff score was 464. Whats your score ?
