>> Only work experience accumulated after graduation is counted.
I get it, if we are talking about the "2 years of school + 1950 hours of employment" option. My question was regarding the second option, which is currently "3900 hours, no school". They have proposed to reduce the number of hours by half, and there's no "school" requirement. So my question is, if they reduce this number of hours necessary to apply for PR, will that matter if these hours worked are on-campus (Teaching/Research Assistantship that so many international grad students get), on off-campus work permit or it MUST be a regular work permit with no restrictions.
This does matter, because many of us have worked part-time during school/full-time in summer and this was all skilled work. These hours would be more than enough to qualify. Once we got out of school it's hard to find a job (for some occupations) so there was a break in employment/we had to take jobs, which were not necessarily skilled but at some point you just take any job in order to pay rent.
