Help - possibly 1 day less than 1 year work experience requirement

[Wasabi321]

Hi seniors, I'm kind of having a panic attack after realizing I might have 1 day less than the one year work experience required by cec. Please help me to analyze if I'm in trouble..

To give you a timeline:
My full time position started on June 13, 2013 (under off campus work permit)
My pgwp started July 19, 2013
I signed my application forms on July 25, 2014
My application was received by cic on August 4, 2014

It seems like I have more than a year of work experience, however, I just remembered I took 6 days of unpaid leave early 2014.. Which means I need to work at least 6 more days after 07/19/2014. My question is, is cic going to calculate the end of my work experience using the signature date on the form or recieved date? If it is the former one then Im screwed..

To give you some more background info, I work 35hours a week for the same employer until now. I submitted all my pay stubs (bi weekly) so cic can see one pay stub only with 56 hours and another one with 42.

Is there anything I could do or am I just driving myself crazy? I know I should have kept some buffer time, my mistake...

Can someone please help?

Well, this is the risk of not having some buffer time for contingency. Not to mention right now CIC has been criticized for having major errors in processing immigration applications. That means they will try to improve their review process.

Depending on your V.Os, your application could go either way. But since you have found weakness in your application, just be prepared for the worst and hope for the best. Who knows you will have a nice V.O that will consider your experience under OCWP, or maybe that person will think you met the qualifying experience already.

I know its hard, but try not to think too much about it. Distract yourself with new hobbies and activities. You will find out what needs to be done when the time comes...

As long as you had already graduated and were no longer a full-time student, that should count as your start date.

My question is, is cic going to calculate the end of my work experience using the signature date on the form or recieved date?
Usually, end date is the date of your Letter of Employment.

Nothing you can really do now, but if the question comes up, and you can prove that you were no longer a student on June 13, 2013, that may help.
