I hold a 1-year PGWP which is going to be expired in June and I am 7 weeks short from 1 year canadian work experience because I was temporarily laid off due to COVID19 and I applied for EI. I wonder if the period I am receiving EI is considered as my work experience? Or will IRCC let me extend...

They would have announced it if this was the case. Plus, a large number of those under FSW are inlands on PGWP or visitor visas already and they are giving 9 days to prepare the required documents and I suppose they are going to even extend that 90 days period if needed. It is only the...

Oh ok. Thx I think if they are to reconsider the number of invitations they might give fewer for a couple of draws but eventually they have a target to meet and they do need immigrants for the sake of the economy.

what do you mean by reconsider their targets?

Thx for your reply. I am good for the period I worked but now I am not on the company payroll anymore receiving EI.

I wish It was the same for EI and temporary lay off due to COVID19. It would be fair if they consider this period as work experience too. Working with a PGWP is for way beyond just the money. It is a matter od weeks. I hope they realize that.

I don't know. Are they? Do you mean I need 49 weeks? I didn't have any leaves. I worked 45 weeks continuous and only 3 sick days.

hi I am going to ask my workplace the same thing. Can you plz hive an update of how things went.

I am not going to do that. LOL I asked just to clarify.

True That is what I thought too. That s why I asked. Maybe I misinterpreted.

So can I add the experience to my profile in June and after receiving ITA send them a LOE?

Hi. Do you mean there might be a chance that they consider the gap as work experience if explained in a letter? I have worked for 45 weeks. I must work another 7 weeks and my PGWP will be expired in June.

I personally think because of being fair to those who might lose points on age or their IELTS or ECA may expire, they are going to do FSW draws but they are going to start processing the application of those who are going to be invited in 6 months. So it might take a year after getting ITA.

Plz check the above screen shots from official IRCC Twitter. I do believe the express entry rounds are going to happen. Let's all hope a FSW would happen.

they said it will continue but they did not clarify whether draws will be all program or CEC & PNP only for a while!! Fingers crossed for a FSW only draw or at least an all program one.

this is no good for both current and future applications at all. Stuck at 467 since December with a 1 year PGWP and 7 weeks short from 52 weeks to apply under CEC which would bring my score up to 497. Damn COVID19 !!!

Thx for your reply.
