Canadian Work Experience

[javierlok]

Hi Everyone,

I am in a PGWP and it is almost expiring it soon. The PGWP was issued on July 27th, 2016, and I started to work on August 1st, 2016, but I was in probation for 2 months and I got a contract on October 1st, 2016. So I already did my EE profile and in the work section I put October 1st, 2016 since that day I got my contract. My question is that, can I change it from October 1st, 2016 to August 1st, 2016 so I can make it to 3 years period of Canadian Work Experience?

You can, if you were paid during probation and your employer includes it in your reference letter.

If the pay was in cash during the probation? And yes my employer can include it.

Your work experience is authorized from the date you submitted your PGWP application. So as long as you applied for the PGWP before you started working, those many number of days will count

Point taken, however, it clearly states that whatever work that is completed while on a study permit does not count towards work experience it is the work after your PGWP is granted that counts. But is is ok to work while you wait for the PGWP to process, even if that study permit expires. But it is up to you if you want to be misled and count it. It's on their website go research it and read for yourself. Be fully informed

I appreciated it! I know that the moment they issue you the PGWP you can claim points of Canadian work experience. Even though if it is expired I can apply for study permit to further get more points for having 1 degree of 4 years and 1 diploma of 1 year. Thanks for your careness!
