Hey guys,

Is there anyone here who did volunteer work under a PGWP? I just wanted to know what should its letter state. I know this work is not counted, just wanted to make sure that we are putting in accurate details in its letter. Like it was just a voluntary and unpaid position kind of thing.

Can anyone please share their experience. Thanks in advance.

Best,
Bend

Add this volunteer work in the personal history section only and do not bother getting a letter.

Hey thank you so much for the reply. I was just thinking of getting the letter to fill in the gap. Do you think it would be an issue if i get a letter?

No issue whatsoever but as this volunteer work adds no value to your application you're just wasting time.

Noted, thank you. I was just concerned that it is a volunteer experience and so they might need an explanation or some details.

Hi @DelPiero07 , wanted to ask for your expertise. I have some volunteer experience outside of canada ( 2 months) and I was paid an honorarium. I was wondering under personal history if I should say its employment or unemployment?
