Internship after graduation counted as experience for CEC?

[Jash312]

Hi ,
Currently working as an paid intern and I'm graduating on Aug16th, but my internship is till Aug 30th.

1. My internship might get extended, so want to know whether paid internship after graduation will counted for CEC work experience?

2. Do I have to apply for PGWP once I graduate or whether I could complete the internship with existing co-op work permit ( expire till December 2024) [Need to know whether co-op work permit expire date is Graduation date or the date mentioned in the work permit]

Only work experience after you have submitted your PGWP application counts towards CEC. So yes, your paid internship after graduation will count, but only after you have submitted your PGWP application.

Yes, you absolutely must submit your PGWP application once you graduate. You cannot continue working after you graduate unless you've submitted your PGWP application. It is not allowed to continue working on your existing co-op work permit.
