I graduated in May 2010 and even if they count my experience from May still it would be 12 months.
What about that??
No one?!!
I could really use some advise on this?

In general, as long as you have 12 months or more of work experience in your field (after you graduated) it will count. Any experience during your period of study will not count.

Based on what you have said, your experience will count.

That's ok. Do me a favor though. Even though you may have got your answer, continue to contribute to the forum and help others who may need it. Your motto in your footer is "Have Faith". Where you can try and help others answer questions who may have neither Faith or Hope.

It's Saturday today so that's why most experienced people are not on the forum.

Work experience as a student is only for inside Canada, outside doesn't count ( I can confidently tell you that because I claimed mine and I have PPR now) it's nothing to worry about.

If you are still worried, it's only one month so it shouldn't affect your crs score I assume.

Do not withdraw your profile and even if you call CIC, I'm not sure you will get a convincing answer.

Hi Ibyt,

thank for replying.
So you are saying that you claimed score for some experience that you gained while studying

Yes I did or at least that is what I wrote in my form.

I started my masters September 2009 and completed September 2010.

My work experience was from March 2010-May 2015 ( when I collected the letter from employer)

I claimed 5 years and no issues

Except if they removed 6 months from my experience and still had no effect on my CRS as at ITA without my knowledge.

As I said earlier, you are only worried about 1 month, will that affect your CRS?
