Studying and working part-time query.

[NilKumar]

Hi all,

I have a question that i'm a bit unsure of, i live in South Africa and i am a foreigner, i finished my high school in South Africa in 2010 and after that i started to work towards a diploma in IT, i looked for a job while i was studying for my diploma and i got one in June 2011 as a network administrator (NOC 2281), i am still on a study permit in South Africa, since then i have finished my diploma and degree (Diploma May 2013 and degree June 2014), i am still working at the same company on a part-time basis (Legally 20 hours a week) as the same job description above.

i want to know can i say for work experience in EE that i started work in June 2011 or do i have to put it only after i got my diploma in IT which was in May 2013?

Thanks for your time.

As long as you can prove what you said in a reference letter/salary payslips you're good to go.

Hey tonykaram123,

Yeah that's not an issue, i can get that written in a reference and i can get payslips too, any idea how many months though? (else i'll include them all ever since i started working lol ;D).

Thanks again

You can use all your work experience. It is only in-Canada work experience gained on a study permit that is excluded.
