hi everyone
i am an university graduate, planning to apply for immigration. i was a transfer student and when i came to the my university i only had 15 courses left for my graduation and i took 5 courses each semester and completed my degree with in 3 semester or 12 months. I have 15 months of job experience in canada.
So my question is do i qualify for Canadian experience class?
 
if you intend to apply as a graduate student, the answer is no you are not qualified because you need more 4 months of study to be eligible. it has to be at least 16 months (four semesters) from within canada .

however, if you intend to apply as a foreign worker you have to wait for another 9 months to be eligible, as they state (24 months experience for foreign workers). and remember that your work experience must be skill level A or B or 0 only according to the NOC (national occupational Classification) to be eligible. (any other type of experience will not be counted).
 
You only need 12 months of full-time skilled work experience within 36 months. Rules have changed.

Any period of employment during which the applicant was engaged in full-time study will
not be included in calculating the period of qualifying work experience (e.g. work experience gained through co-op work permits, off-campus work permits while a full-time student, and on-campus work permits).

Why on earth would you respond to a post that is four years old? Please don't do this again.
 
I'm sorry I made a mistake. If you stop replying to this post it will disappear out of the front page in a few days.
