Making up 1 year for CEC during implied status so that I can apply for EE

[EEdreams15]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone with experience can help me.

So my PGWP is expiring at the end of February 2015 and I will be one month short of having 1 year work experience. I started my job in April 2014 (NOC B) and I will get my 12 months of full time experience at the end of March 2015.

Now, I have no positive LMIA or PNP nomination (waiting for it, received file # from province of AB). What I am thinking of doing is applying for extension of my work permit through paper application (takes about 94 days to process) even though I know it will get denied.

My question is this - Will my last month of work under implied status be valid for applying to CEC? Can a VO deny my CEC application because my last month was under implied status gained by filing an extension that I knew was gonna be declined?

*All this would only matter if I get an ITA without a PNP or LMIA of course.*

Please, anyone with experience can you help me?

Thanks guys!!!!

This is exactly what happened in my case. And my VO counted the experience gained while I was on implied status. I don't see any reason why your VO might reject it. Although I have to say application to application differs, VO to VO as well.

So do your studies around this forum and make the best decision. I'm pretty sure you are wise enough, since you know how the system works.

From my side, I did what you want to do, and it went through. I would not suggest it, cause you are stressed out till they come up with a decision, but if this is your last option, by all means give it a try.

Best of luck,

Thank you Rez for taking the time to answer my question. Yes, I am stressed and it is my only option. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain so I will definitely do it.

Cheers! ;D

Yes, you will be ok as it is "legally" working

Working under the "implied" status is legal and there should not be any tensions regarding this. Take it easy and go for this option
