Paid Work Internship on Post Graduation Work Permit for Express Entry CEC

[hershii77]

1) Do paid internships on post graduation work permit after graduation in-Canada (NOT ON Co-op but on PGWP) qualify for express entry CEC work experience?
2) If an internship is paid, is it considered employment or being employed? I am employed directly under the institution, no subcontractors.
3) If I have all paystubs, contract letter and job offer letters, will I be able to use it to claim points?

1. Yes if skilled and meets salary/wage average for that NOC. Not sure what the difference is between a paid job and a paid internship.
2. Are you employee that receives T4, tax deductions etc? If so yes, you are an employee and eligible for CEC.
3. You need a signed employment letter stating hours work, salary, job responsibilities and time worked. This is not your contract or job offer.

1) Thank you.
2) Yes. I receive pay slips, taxes are deducted. T4 will be issued as far as I confirmed during the next tax period.
3) I can secure one. My job offer does state all of them already though but I do know we need a reference letter to confirm everything.

If possible, can I add you on instagram for any more questions?

Generally, a valid offer is for a job that is:

• full-time and non-seasonal,
• for at least one year,
• in a skilled job listed as Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B in the 2016 National Occupational Classification.

A job offer must be in writing, and must set out details of the job they are offering you, such as:

• your pay and deductions
• your job duties
• conditions of employment, like your hours of work.

In most cases, a valid job offer must be supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The employer has to apply for one from Employment and Social Development Canada/Service Canada.

1) yes.
2) Employment.
3) You can use this to claim points for Canadian work experience, but not for having a job offer.

1) Thank you
2) Thank you
3) My profile is already in pool with another job in NOC B which I already have worked 1 year for. Just making sure this internship position is still getting counted in case I may have to wait for a decision for another year.

Received my PR after using the work experience I mentioned in my original thread so yes, IRCC accepted it.

Hello Guys,
Can someone help me in the following regards?

Currently, working as a purchasing manager in Canada with One year of experience.

I have 3 years of back home experience: One year as an apprentice (full-time, paid, done after study completion, in the procurement field) and the other is Two Years of experience as a Deputy Commercial Manager (Paid, full-time, in the supply chain field).

Now, I am not sure of few things that is as below:

1. What NOC Code should I consider for these back home jobs? (One is paid apprentice and another is commercial manager; None of them is listed in NOC Codes)
2. Should I be considering the NOC Codes based on the responsibilities?
3. If NOC Codes are under different TEER Categories, such as apprentice is X and Commercial Manager is Y and Purchasing Manager is Y or Z, should there be any problem?
4. Should those responsibilities (in the Reference Letter) must match with the Current purchasing manager job which I am doing right now?

Any help in this regards is very much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi, please can i send you an email?

Hi Stella.

As long as the 2 months were NOT tied with your program graduation requirements, were paid and were on a PGWP, you can claim those.

It sounds like you got a 4 month internship offer out of which, you worked for 2 months, graduated and were on a PGWP for remaining 2, correct?

1. did you submit paystubs for your inland intern experience? - Yes, I did along with a reference letter from my company specifically stating that I was a paid intern on a post graduation work permit.

2. did you state your job title as ''intern'' on your work history in your express entry profile? - Yes. Exactly the same way as it appeared on my reference letter. My internship role was "Application Support Intern".

3. is there any other thing I should know? - make sure that the 2 months you claim, you CLEARLY state that you were on a PGWP, were considered an employee of the company (not a contractor) and were paid. Those two months SHOULD NOT have been a requirement for you to graduate.

Please feel free to reply here if you have any more questions. Sorry for the delay in responding to you.

I'd also invite the veteran members of this forum to correct me if I am wrong anywhere and to provide more info on this.

Thanks!

Hi Rocky

I'd highly recommend to post this question as a separate thread. Someone with more knowledge would be able to assist you better there.

Thanks!

Hi Hershi,

Thank you for your post. I'm in a similar situation and would appreciate your help in answering a few questions.

I started a 4-month internship as part of my co-op, which the company later extended to 8 months. During this time, I worked for 3 months on applied status. Your post clarified that I can claim those 3 months. After my internship, I started a full-time job at another company for 7 months, following a 3-month gap. Now, I’ve rejoined the company where I did my co-op and have been working for 2 months.

Here are my questions:

1. Can I claim the 3 months of internship that I worked on applied status?
2. Is the 3-month gap between jobs acceptable for CEC (Canadian Experience Class)?
3. For paperwork, should I get documentation for the full 8 months of the internship and explain that I worked 3 months on a work permit? Or should I only get paperwork for the 3 months worked under the permit?
4. Should I get separate paperwork for my current job, or can it be included with my co-op documentation?

I would greatly appreciate your help with these questions.

Thanks,
Srikanth.
