Yes, you can apply. The job should be skilled and does not have to be related to your education.

Hi

My name is Mohammed .I came to canada on study permit on 27th April 2011.I completed my studies and graduated on 27th April 2012.I applied for Post Graduated Work Permit on 21st June 2012 and got work permit from 27th July 2012 to 27th july 2013(1 year)

I started my job on 17th June 2012 as Kitchen DesignerNOCB and my one year will get completed on 17th june 2013.I want to apply for Permanent residence under Canadian Experiance Class.I called CIC about knowing my eligibility and they told me that one year will get counted from day you recieved your post Graduated WorkPermit not from the day you started job.

As per CIC Website:
Note: Any periods of self-employment, unauthorized work, or periods of employment during which you were engaged in full-time study (e.g. work experience gained on a co-op, off-campus or on-campus work permit) will not be included when calculating the period of qualifying work experience. You must have had temporary resident status during the period of work experience acquired in Canada.

I started my job on 17th june 2012 and at that time i was not full time student so i want to know why that experiance willnot count or on 21st june 2012 i applied for Post Graduated Work permit and while waiting for that i was doing job so why that period will not count.

Please clearify this and mail me back as i have to apply my permanent residency under Canadian Experiance Class and has to apply for Bridge Open Work Permit.

Thanks
Mohammed

CIC officer is correct your one year is start to countdown from the day you got your work permit. (Because from that day you got legal authority to work) the one month when you work without work permit is not countable. Best thing you can do apply renew your work permit. Meanwhile apply under CEC. I meant after July 27.
