Dear Experts,
Please let me know if the work experience gained during Implied Status (Applied for PGWP and waiting for approval) can count as a valid experience while applying for EE?
The situation is when someone eligible to get one year PGWP and so after course completion apply for PGWP and the 2nd day joins a job. Let's say it took a month to get the PGWP approved. Hence, that 1 month experience during Implied Status will count when applied in EE or it is from PGWP approval date.

Work experiences under implied status count as valid experience and can be used towards CEC.

Nice! so you got an ITA in 3 days, and sorry last question, did you apply on the 26th because you were gathering documents or was there something that had delayed you? Would it be technically possible to have applied on May 16th?

No I waited for 2 more weeks intentionally just to have some buffer. If you have all your docs ready, you could apply once you get ITA. I would suggest you to contact IRCC tho for your 4-semester courses but only 12-month pgwp. It doesn't look right to me.

Yeah it's weird, but I'm worried any tampering with the application will invalidate the work experience gained already. I have 1 year of work to the dot.
