Hi everyone,
i got my invitation under CES July '17. I have few questions regarding my travel history and calculation for Canadian experience. Here is some background information.
I've started working on May 31st '16 in Canada and i applied for my work permit on 1st June '16. My work permit issued on 28th of June '16 and my last day on work was 3rd July '17. I am Indian Citizen and i have traveled to India for 25 days during my employment(unpaid vacation) and also to US twice for a week (in total for two US trips) during my employment.
1) Do i have to mention my trip to India in travel history ?
2) Do they deduct vacation days for the calculation of experience?
3) Do they count experience from the day i applied or from the day work permit issued to me ?
4) Does it matter how much money i show under CES specially when i am unemployed?
Thank you so much in advance.

I got it from the CIC website.

"work experience gained while you were a full-time student (such as on a co-op work term) doesn’t count under this program."

Your status, before the PGWP is issued to you, is student and that part does not qualify.
