Dear all,
I am an Indian national.I had gone to the UK in sept 2013 to do my masters. The course got completed in Sept 2014. I had comeback in Sept 2014 after completing everything. ( also I had a severe injury). Therefore I joined my parents company.
However when the result came in I had and failed my dissertation and had to re-submit it by March 2015. I wasn't able to do it so the college awarded me a PG Diploma. (WES has evaluated the same as equivalent to 1 year PG diploma , 2015).

Present Scenario : FSWP , CRS 446 with 2 years Work Ex

The only concern that I have now is that if you look at the timeline :

  • Sept 2013 - Sept 2014 : Officially course completed
    Sept 2014- March 2015: . Back in India.Work in Company (Dissetation Failed, Chance for resubmission - could not submit) (did not go back to UK)
    March 2015 : Officially awarded PG diploma. (Transcript says academic program end date : 31st March 2015)
    March 2015- Jan 2017 : Work in Same company and profile .
    Feb 2017 : I am joining an MNC.

So I have a query regarding calculating my work ex (as per CIC)? The transcript says the end date of course : 31st March 2015.

So since when should I count my work experience: from April 2015 or September 2014?

Right now , I have mentioned it as 2 years in the EE profile. But considering that CIC probably will not count the Sept 2014 to March 2015 phase..I am a bit confused!

(Also my points remain same if I change it back work ex to 1 year incase, but will only delay my full work experience points achievement)
Hope you have understood my query.

Best regards

This would be a tricky question if you were talking about Canadian work experience.

Since it is foreign then even if you hadn't completed your studies, the skilled work experience you obtained before actually receiving your diploma counts.

Thank for the prom reply DelPiero07 ! Really appreciate it. You've always answered my queries in matter of minutes :)

Is there any proof / weblink on CIC website of the same that defines work experience? Just to back up my situation incase the officer objects?

Because as per CIC work ex only counts post completion of your course. I don't want the application to be refused because of this small issue. Already had a terrible injury and scenario.

Also, I did complete my Bachelors before taking the masters. So technically (law terms) I graduated?
Kind of confused.

Merci beaucoup!

There's a ton of information regarding this in this forum, you just have to look for it.

I will for one, claim foreign work experience that was obtained before even obtaining my bachelor's degree.
