So I'm 20 years old and I recently graduated from a one year program in a Canadian College and got my PGWP approved 2 months after I graduated (November 2023 - month of PGWP approval).
During my studies, my international advisor strictly told me to find a job related to my studies for it to count as work experience that would benefit my express entry application. At the time, I have a really good job position working part time as a Assistant Manager at a Coffee Shop (NOC 0631) and I still work as an Assistant Manager to this very day.
The Dilemma I have is, now that I have my PGWP, should I listen to my international advisor and seek out jobs related to my studies (since I'm under a PGWP for one year)? Or should I stay at my current job and gain 1 year experience as an Assistant Manager (focusing on the NOC)?
I just don't know if it will count as Work Experience if I work at the Coffee Shop under a PGWP instead of an LMIA+Work Permit.
