Am on implied status for pgwp ,does a full time paid internship count as work experience after applying for pgwp towards work experience for CEC

It will not count for CEC; after you receive the PGWP, then it will start counting your work experience in Canada.

Oh! I thought that even if one is on implied status it would be counted .Thanks

Incorrect. Work experience counts from the date you apply for the PGWP.

Yes, as long as it is in a skilled occupation (NOC O, A, or B).

I am pretty sure that if it is internship, even a payed one, it cannot count for CEC. It could, probably, as for work experience in general FSW, and for sure for the resume it will be counted as Canadian experience, but for immigration under CEC you should prove that you have a valid work permit, and the work cannot be part of your studies, therefore I still think it cannot count under CEC. May the more knowledgeable correct me.

And look for this note.
Note: Work experience acquired while under implied status will be considered as eligible work experience under the CEC, provided the applicant continued to work in Canada under the same conditions as their original work permit until a decision was made on their application for a work permit extension.

I hope you're right, although, it depends on the VO and some luck when making an argument.

all 3 pages show the evolution of opinions and still no definitive answer. I am not sure, only hope for the best decision for us all.
