Hi,
I am an international Master's student in one of the Ontario university. I have a valid study permit until September,2012 and I am finishing my degree requirements by this August. I already got a job offer as a post graduate research assistant in my University for next one year (September,2012 to August 2013). So just after finishing my Master's requirements I will apply for 2-year PGWP and will start work with my off-campus-work permit. So my questions are

1. Part of my experience falls under off-campus-work permit and it is after satisfying my degree requirements (not during studies). Do I have any problem in counting this period for my experience in CIC application? Though this is a grey area( I read all other posts related to this), I was wondering any new information available for me here.

2. During my Master's program I worked as a teaching assistant with T4 form(not T4-A) for 10 hours/week over 52 weeks . Does this add any experience or work hours to my CEC application?

3. Just after finishing my work in August,2013 I want to start my PhD from Septemebr,2013. In that case when do I have to apply for my study permit? ( I understand I am losing one year PGWP which is one time offer only)

I can't explain how much this forum is helpful to me. Thanks in advance.
