Hey Folks,
I am an International Student from India. I have completed my one year here in Canada, and I am enrolled in 2 years program at a college here.
I work at a North American food store, where I've been appointed an AGM, and I have not yet completed one year with this company.

I want to know if I qualify for CEC criteria Once I've completed one year as a manager or if I have to work for and Year once my studies are finished because I am on my study permit right now.

any information will be useful.

Work experience during STUDY is NOT ELIGIBILE for CEC application. You have to have qualifying work experience after you are awarded your degree to be eligible for CEC.

You must work for one year after the date you submit your PGWP application (after you complete your studies). Time spent working while studying does not count towards this. So you are around two years away from qualifying at this point.

Unfortunately @Deb23 and @scylla are both correct. Congrats on the appointment but that work experience for CEC does not count while you are on a study permit. Good thing here, is that you are most like eligible for PNP immediately after school.
