Hi,

I will apply for PGWP which will be valid for a year.
As per current trends, it can take up to 4 months for IRCC to issue one.

I understand that I will be able to work after submitting the application.
The question is,
will the PGWP is going to have a start date from application submission date OR the start date is going to be the issued date?

The second question is based on assumption that start date is from issued date with validity of exactly one year.
In this case, I would be able to gain one year experience even before the PGWP expires.
Will I be able to apply for PR under Canadian Experience Class with this one year of experience OR do I need to have experience from the start date of PGWP to the end date of PGWP?

Thanks in advance!

Amol
