Hi,

I have a question regarding the work hours.
I graduated in 2009. My last class was in June 2009, my convocation was held in November 2009. I received my PGWP in November 2009, but have been working part-time since July 2009 using my OCWP. Now if I want to apply for PR under CEC, do I start counting my work experience from July 2009 or November 2009? I know that work experience under OCWP doesn't count towards the work experience requirement for the CEC, but what about the work hours gained during the transition period between the OCWP and PGWP??

Please help. Thank you very much!!!

Work has to be "post-graduation" to be counted...
