Work experience duration for CEC.

[Jack&Jones]

Hi to all,

I am on work permit-PGWP which I have received on 30th September 2017 for exactly One year period (i.e) up to 30th September 2018. I had started my job from the same day I applied for PGWP. (i.e. on 8th August 2018).

In my EE profile, I have mentioned the start date as 8th August. (The date I applied for PGWP and started full-time job) and I have received an ITA in EE draw of 11th July 2018 under CEC class.

Question:-
How immigration officer counts one-year experience for CEC (from the date I applied or from the date I received PGWP) and Should I accept ITA?

Thank you in advance for guidance.

Your work experience is authorized from the date you submitted your PGWP application. So as long as you applied for the PGWP before you started working, so 8th Aug will be valid in your case

The mentioned link says "You can work full-time while waiting for a decision on your post-graduation work permit application".....
But Can the experience be claimed for CEC?.
They did not mention this anywhere.
