For CEC stream: Does the work experience gained as part time working at say employer "A" count towards 1 year required before you can apply for CEC.
I started working for employer "A" part-time (20hrs a week) for last 2 months of my masters degree during May and June 2024. And started full time on 8th July. So does the work experience gained during part time student status count towards CEC experience as on IRCC website for CEC the eligibility requirements only states that the work experience shouldn't be acquired during Full time student status.
I have attestation letter from university stating my full time and part time student status during each semester so it would corroborate my statement that I wasn't a full time student during those 2 months.
IRCC states for CEC You must
