Firstly, are you sure you are 1114 and not 6235? Because some credit analysts now fall under 6235. Please double check. Secondly, as per the recent operational manual for CEC you should be able to start counting your work experience from the date you graduated (i.e. after April 26 in your...

Yup, I checked the date and was fully aware of it. I just thought the experience the person shared on it would be helpful. That's all.

Convenience or safety? It is your call.

Vinny, The best thing to do is for you to get a US Visa. It saves you a lot of time and effort explaning why you tried to enter a country without having a visa. You will never know when it can create a hindrance for you. Also if you ever need to leave the country on a short notice for whatever...

You still have about a month's time to apply. So you might just able to make it make it for CEC. Keep checking to see how many applications have been received and then apply. You can also look into your province's PNP program, as a back up plan. Good luck!

Yup! that is the correct email address.
