PGWP EXPRING IN 3 MONTHS WANT TO APPLY THROUGH CEC

[mohd000]

Hi

Very Good Afternoon
My name is Mohammed.I came to canada on study permit on 27th April 2011.I completed my studies and graduated on 27th April 2012.I applied for Post Graduated Work Permit on 21st June 2012 and got work permit from 27th July 2012 to 27th july 2013(1 year)

I started my job on 17th June 2012 as Kitchen Designer and my one year will get completed on 17th june 2013.I want to apply for Permanent residence under Canadian Experiance Class.I called CIC about knowing my eligibility and they told me that one year will get counted from day you recieved your post Graduated WorkPermit not from the day you started job.

As per CIC Website:
Note: Any periods of self-employment, unauthorized work, or periods of employment during which you were engaged in full-time study (e.g. work experience gained on a co-op, off-campus or on-campus work permit) will not be included when calculating the period of qualifying work experience. You must have had temporary resident status during the period of work experience acquired in Canada.

I started my job as Kitchen Designer NOCB on 17th june 2012 and at that time i was not full time student so i want to know why that experiance willnot count or on 21st june 2012 i applied for Post Graduated Work permit and while waiting for that i was doing job so why that period will not count.



Please clearify this and mail me back as i have to apply my permanent residency under Canadian Experiance Class and has to apply for Bridge Open Work Permit.My PGWP expiring on 27th July 2013 and employer is not willing for applying LMO so i donot know what to do if 1 year completed on 27th july 2013? How to request for extension for 1 month so that i can get AOR for applying Bridge Open WP
Please help
Thanks

post Graduated WorkPermit not from the day you started job.

Be careful with what those clerks tell you. In the end they are not responsible for all that blsht they tell you on phone.

Just think:

You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week.

If there is no job, no paycheques - you cannot count it as a SKILLED WORK experience for CEC program purposes.

Any way u can extend the current job?

You must count from the start day of PGWP. I heard ppl got away with off-campus work permit, because they were not student anymore..But remember this you are still on STUDENT status, until you receive the PGWP - which changes your status to WORKER.

We cannot answer "why my experience will not be counted?", because simply we are not CIC. They made the rules, and they don't answer for those rules. You can take a risk and apply, if you want. As I stated above, some ppl got away with that. But remember it is still a risk.

Look for another job, before this one expires, and then apply for CEC when you have your total experience (for ex: 10 months from current job + 2-3 months from new job).
