hi folks

I have completed my post-graduation in April 2012 and started working full-time from June 2012.
I got my work permit in 2nd week of July 2012.

So for my CEC application do I eligible by now? as Its 1 year completed in June 1st week or they count work experience only after we get our PGWP?
its bit confused because on my study permit it was stated that I can work full time during scheduled breaks. So work after completion of study counts towards CEC work experience?

I want to apply ASAP as my Canadian PCC going to complete 3 months on 22nd July and I have read on CIC website that my PCC should not be more than 3 months old when I submit my application.

Suggestions and advises will be much appreciated.

When did you convocate? In other words, when was the ceremony held by your school to confer your diploma or degree?

You can start to count your work experience under CEC after you got your PGWP, which I was told by CIC on the phone last year. If you want to be sure, call them. You can't count your experience you gained on your off campus wp/study p.

You don't need to send Canadian PCC upon application. You just have to get PCC from your own country and whatever country you have lived before.
