Hi.
I received my eligibility to graduate letter in October 2014 after which I applied for and received my Postgraduate work permit in November 2014. However, I received my degree in February 2015 (date on transcripts and degree: Degree awarded- February 4, 2015). Now, I received an Invitation to apply in Express entry based on one year Canadian work experience (November 2014-November 2015) over my PGWP. I am not sure from when does CIC counts Canadian experience as in my case My official degree has graduation date as FEB 2015 while I have been working on PGWP- since NOV. 2014. This happened because I met all the requirements to graduate in late September and the very next date for declaring graduation was only in Feb. As i had already completed all the needed requirements for qualification, University gave me eligibility to graduate letter over which I was able to apply and get PGWP in Nov. 2014. Though I received degree in winter convocation (feb 2015). Please someone guide me how should I calculate my Canadian 1 year work experience-
a) from Nov 2014 to Nov 2015 - based on the issue date of PGWP, or
b) Feb 2015 to Nov 2015- Date of degree awarded as shown on final transcripts and degree.
I need to accept / decline y ITA accordingly plzz help!!!!
