Counting Experience

[kgaurav7645]

Hello,
I am wondering about the work experience. My co-op ends on April 19, 2023 and I got a full-time job in the same co-op organization.
I graduated and received a letter of WP on 5th May. Should I consider counting the number of weeks from May 5th or Fourth week of April (as my coop is replaced by a full-time job under the same employer)?

The date you should use is the day you got confirmation from the University/college that you completed your program. Not the day you graduated. This means you could have only completed the program if you completed your co-op.

Additionally, if you were not given confirmation that you completed your program in April, you should not have accepted the full time position as you were still a student. Granted, there is leeway since the moratorium that allowed students to work full time was still in place in April. All said and done, use the date the university told you, you completed your program requirements.

Thanks for information. It was bit of relief for me now as I was confused to count the number of weeks for CEC experience.
Thanks again!

You can start counting from the day you apply for your PGWP.
