hi everyone,
I am so glad that i found this forum because i have learned a lot by reading everyone's posts. I seek some advice: I came to canada in 2002 under a diplomatic visa. I earned my OAC (high school) and bachelor's degree (University of Toronto) in the meantime. My parents left in late 2005 and i had to apply for a student permit. I graduated in 2006 but having no Social Security number i could not find a job in the months they gave me after graduation. I had to come to Madrid where my parents now reside and i am now working here. I worked as a summer intern for two summers (about 6-7 months of full time work experience) in Canada and i work as a part-time recepcionist at my student residence. I speak fluently both official languages. I dont understand why they make it so difficult for someone my age, my qualifications and my education to stay in Canada! I am already integrated in the country, i have no danger of being a bad immigrant since i have already spent 5 years in the country!!
My question is: will my part-time employment in Canada count for applying? i am waiting until i have 1 year full time work experience but it would help to know if i can apply sooner.
