No once you apply for work permit your experience starts as in your case you started before your workpermit was approved That is okay your are eligible for cec. If you would like to wait then it's upto you.Hi thank you for your reply.
My Letter of Employment says my start date is July 6th 2020, with 40hrs/week and shows my salary too.
I will complete my one year experience on July 6th 2021.
But my pgwp issue date is August 10th 2020.
So should I wait till August 10th 2021 to apply for cec???
