I am seeking your assistance regarding my Express Entry application for permanent residency (PR) in Canada. I recently received an Invitation to Apply (ITA) based on my Express Entry profile, which indicated that I have two years of Canadian work experience. However, I currently do not have a valid work permit to gain additional work experience, and I am unsure if the claim of two years of experience is accurate based on the timeline of my previous employment.
Here is a summary of my situation:
• First Job: April 6, 2022, to November 7, 2022
• Second Job: January 3, 2023, to April 19, 2024
The total work experience amounts to approximately 1 year, 10 months, and 17 days, but it was calculated as 2 years of experience in my Express Entry profile, and I received the ITA accordingly.
However, my work permit expired, and I no longer have valid status to continue working in Canada. I am concerned that this could affect the accuracy of my application, and I want to ensure that there are no issues with misrepresentation in my application when submitting my PR request.
I would appreciate your expert advice on the following:
1. Can I accept the ITA and submit my PR application with this work experience, given that it was legally obtained during the period when I had valid work status, even though I currently do not have a valid work permit?
2. Is there any risk of misrepresentation in claiming two years of Canadian work experience when my actual work experience is slightly less than that?
3. Should I provide additional documentation to clarify this issue to IRCC to avoid any complications?
Your guidance would be invaluable in helping me navigate this process. I look forward to hearing from you and would appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
