Hi Everyone,

I have the similar question as WLXY (canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/-t65402.0.html ) but I would like to seek further clarification to be sure.

Based on jes_ON answer to WLXY, is that mean that I will be eligible to apply for CEC after 1 year into my master program, using my research experience as 1 year post-graduation work experience needed?

I will have my Canadian bachelor of science next summer and I want to go directly into 2 year research-based science master program where I will be a graduate research assistant (NOC 4122) and receive bi-weekly stipend from my professor. I think I will get T4A instead of T4 that WLXY mentioned which will not mention working hours.

-What kind of documentation will be required to prove that I work fulltime 37.5hr/week. Do I need to keep a time log whenever I go work on my lab and submit a photocopy of it? or will a letter from my professor stating that I work full time is enough or will it need to be a letter from my university?

I highly appreciate your help in clarifying this matter.
Thank you
