Does being in Canada on a Work Visa help?

Hi guys,
Just a random question while waiting out my PR.

Do CIC officers look at your history when going over your file?
I've been working in Canada for almost 3 years straight now on Work Visas, will that be in my favor at ALL?

I like to think it shows i have been contributing to the Canadian Society, but am i just another number to them?

Anyone know?

I'm assuming you're being sponsored by a spouse/common law partner.

Contributing to Canadian society shouldn't really come into play. However, the fact that you've been working in Canada shows that you can support yourself in Canada, and if you've been living with your partner for these 3 years, that makes your relationship evidence stronger as well.

No i guess the contributing to society won't be a factor (although i have been keeping Canadian workers safe)

We've been living together for 3 years, bought a house, shared bank accounts, combined insurances, named each other beneficiaries and got married.
It doesn't get more legit as this.
