Canadian Experience class. PR application Express entry

[student in Montreal]

Hi All,

I have applied for my PR though Express entry (Canadian Express class) . I am going to submit all my documents in the coming week.
I wanted to get some guidance regarding my situation. I started my full-time job in May 2019 however I was working full time on a co-op visa untill Nov 2019, In Nov 2019 I applied for my open work permit and I continued working in the same organization. For CEC as per my understanding my experience will be counted from Nov 2019 till Nov 2020 in determining full 1 year of Canadian experience. I wanted to confirm if I need to provide explanation to immigration officer regarding my situation as all my work related document has start date as May 2019.

Not sure if I need to explain it to the immigration office or just submit my documents.

If you are working in Quebec, you might want to recheck on eligibility to apply for PR. I think there are some barriers.

To be clear, you haven't applied for PR. You submitted a profile and received an invitation, a completely different thing.

It would be pretty evident for the immigration Officer, however you are given an option to submit a Letter of Explanation where you may want to add any clarifying details that will make IRCC life easier when assessing your application.

Hi thanks for the information, Its probably a good idea to add some explanation. Also I wanted to check if it's a problem changing jobs on implied status when I am waiting for a decision on the PR application. I am on my open work permit.

OPEN Work Permit. The OPEN means any employer.

So no, you have nothing to worry about. There is no problem.

You can, but you shouldn't.

If I am not mistaken you are asked to answer a question of whether you have at least 1-year of experience. You should do so when this is true, not earlier.
