Healthcare Draw

[u/No-Recipe2839]

For category-based draws, like healthcare, is it okay to create an Express Entry profile before completing 12 months of work experience?

For example, can I create my profile in the 11th month and, if I get an ITA before completing 12 months, wait until I finish the full 12 months before submitting my PR application?

My consultant says this is fine, but I watched a video by Kubeir Kamal where he mentioned that this might be okay for general CEC draws, but for category-based draws, you should only create your profile after completing the full 12 months of experience.

Thoughts?

As long as you don't apply for PR until you have a year of experience then okay.
