Post Graduation Work Permit - DOUBT!!!

[Jamestoca]

Hello folks,

I have a serious doubt. I'm an international student and I'm currently coursing a culinary program in Canada. I'm almost to graduate and be ready to apply for my Post Graduation WP. However, I would like to know if in the work permit there probably will have any restriction to work in other field that is not the same (culinary).

Sincerely

Assuming you qualify for a PGWP it is an open work permit so you can work anywhere not just culinary. Having said that I guess depends on your longer term PR objectives in which field you want to build experience towards PR qualification something you should keep in mind. But PGWP no restriction.

I got it Bs65, but in this case, I already worked like 5 months part-time; consequently, it already started to count experience for my PR qualification or It will start only when I graduate and begin to work full time?

Because if it does not counts, I would like to change my profession as soon as I graduate.

It depends on which immigration stream are you applying for. Like PNP etc.

Any work you completed while studying in Canada cannot be counted as work experience towards any immigration program. You can only count experience gained after you completed your program.

Can you send to me an official statement about your information from the CIC website?

Thank you
