That was before the rule changes in January 2013 - under the old rules, there were 2 streams, a foreign worker stream and a post-graduate stream, and post-grads could NOT count pre-graduation experience. Now there is ONLY one stream, and graduation date is no longer relevant. What does matter is employment experience that is not gained while enrolled as a full-time student, and (b) that you are authorized to work. Unfortunately, it is too soon to know exactly how VOs will interpret this, so if you can afford to wait, the advice to wait is good.Ottawa10 said:It's always good to have a few extra days as a buffer.
When was your convocation? The reason I am asking is that I remember reading on this form where someone got rejected because the only working hours that counts towards experience is the ones after the convocation.
Also - for your letter of employment, be sure that it is dated AFTER you complete your year of employment...
