Dear All and Asivad,
Can you please lend your suggestions
- I submitted my thesis on 31-Oct-2014 to the department. After thesis submission, graduate students automatically get deregistered for that term since course requirements are completed. I was waiting for my thesis defence date.
- I had my thesis defense on 20-Jan-2015.
- I received my "Statement of Degree Requirements Completed" on 23-Feb-2015 from the University.
- Then I applied for post graduate work permit on 24-Feb-2015.
- My study permit was valid till 31-March-2015. From 1-April-2015, I was on implied status till 1-May-2015.
- But the date issue of PGWP is on 2-May-2015. I have been told that my work experience counts from the day I submitted the PWGP application to CIC (i.e. from Feb2015).
I started working part time for 20 hours from Nov-2014 onwards. Then in March-2015, I received a full time contract job.
My questions:
1) Will the above work experience from 01-Nov-2014 to 24-Feb-2015 count towards Canadian work experience for CEC or FSW?
2) Will the work experience during the implied status (25-Feb-2015 to 01-May-2015) count towards Canadian work experience for CEC or FSW?
a) Eligible to count the experience from the first day of the contract (1-Nov-2014), I was not a student at that time but on study permit.
b) Eligible to count the experience from the day I applied online for Post Graduate Work Permit (24-Feb-2015), completed my masters but on study permit till 31-Mar-2015.
c) Eligible to count the experience from the day I received the Post Graduate Work Permit (02-May-2015)
I need to know when I will complete my 1 year of Canadian experience. That will change based on the above dates.
