Hi,

I will be applying to CEC in May and had a couple of questions:

1. I will complete 1 year of work experience at the end of this April so can I apply right away (May 1st) or is it preferable to leave gap? Are vacation days counted?
2. I came to Canada as a student in 2007 and am now working on a post graduation work permit. In generic application 'current country of residence section', I am writing my status as worker, From: 2007(should this be when I came or when I got pgwp?) and To: when my work permit expires(is this right?)
3. Although not mentioned anywhere, are we required to send photocopies of visa page and other pages of stamps in Passport as proof of what we write in application?
4. Also yesterday, when talking to a friend I noticed that although we both are on pgwp but he has W-1(worker) visa in his passport while I have V-1(meant for visitor expiring on date on my work permit expiry). Never had problem going and entering back to Canada with this but just wondering if there will be any issue in regards to status?
5. My job is that of a marketing analyst; its an analytical role mainly analyzing data on customers, running KPI reports and market share assessments for marketing dept. I am planning to apply under code 4163 as it has my title and some job duties but noticed that as a whole this code comes under “4. Occupations in education, law and social, community and govt services” which seems like its more for govt jobs so can this code be applied to corporations? Other option is code 1122(professional occupations in business management consulting) but this seems more for management consultants.
6. I was in the coop program when I was studying so should I also list all my coop work experiences during university in my personal history?

Will really appreciate your help. Thanks.
 
1. Better to leave gap some buffer time. Two weeks of vacation maybe counted.

2. from start of pgwp - to end of pgwp

3. no those are not required.

4. as long as you have a valid pgwp, its fine.

5. any as long as you're duties sound similar.

6. yes you can, it won't matter toward the process.
 
Thanks alot for the information iamroth.

I have shortlisted two codes 4163 and 1122 both of which have my duties, and have each other in classified elsewhere. As these both codes are similar, do you think from your experience if I list one but the other is right then there is flexibility that application won't be rejected as both are similar? They would reject the app when the codes totally wouldn't match job duties, right?
