    How do we calculate 12-month Work experience??

    Thank you everyone for their input on this topic! I just wish CIC was clearer and more consistent. Two more cents from me :) : As somebody suggested before, CIC supposedly doesn't follow the language on their website (which is there to help us interpret the regulations). CIC OP 25a states...

    New CEC - Jan 2013 Applications

    Hey guys - anybody in a similar situation? I have 12 months of work experience on a PGWP (issued Feb 2012). However, my degree was officially conferred in May 2012. Should I wait till May to apply or will my experience from Feb to May count? Anybody applied in Jan with a similar timeline...

    MAY 2012 Applications

    Hi Always. Asif sorry to hear about your application being rejected. Would you mind sharing when your PGWP was issued? Did they reject your experience prior to PGWP or prior to convocation? Thank you!

    Is a valid TRV required to apply under CEC?

    Thank you for your prompt responses! Just to clarify: I applied for an extension after the expiration of my old TRV, so I don't think I qualify for the implied status during that period. However, if the TR status is based on my PGWP, than I should be ok, correct?

    Is a valid TRV required to apply under CEC?

    Hi! I'm planning to apply under CEC - I have 12 months of work experience on a post-graduation work permit. I'd like to know if a valid TRV is required throughout the 12 months to be eligible to apply. I am a bit confused by this paragraph from OP-25A: "9.2. Temporary resident status The...
