As medicals are getting delayed, I was checking the old forms ..There is one of the question in form which says "how many year of work ex you have"..I said 2 or more becoz of my experience as research assistant for 3 year while I was a student at university which was 35 hours. I had reference letter reference letter which mention it.

And rest 1 year work ex was in NOC 2113 which is geophysicist (37.5 hours per week )

Just to be sure, will they able to differ my application as PGWP ? Did I done the right thing by mentioning my Research assistant experience as well because they ask about work experience at canada in last 3 years.

I was just checking all my forms and reference letters as I am thinking of upfront medicals now days. My new job joining is 31 st October ..I need to do best from my side :)

I don't believe it will be an issue. As long as you provided a copy of your PGWP, the only experience that would count would be experience gained under the PGWP validity. They should be able to differentiate with dates.

the above response is confusing the old and new program requirements. As is the question - I assume you mean, "will they consider my application under the post-graduate stream?" In any case, I don't think you have anything to worry about. As long as you provided the required evidence of being a student for two years, you should be considered under the post-graduate stream.
