@ Jsa with all due respect, your response is inappropriate and insensitive considering how detailed Mah121 questions and concerns are. Mah121 had several concerns and all you could respond with was a "no"? keep in mind that other people use this forum as an avenue to learn and better their personal situations.

Hi Mah121,

addressing your questions, you do not have to have continuous work experience to be eligible for CEC, in essence your work experience can be broken apart. Keep in mind though that from the date you apply, CIC counts only as far back as 2yrs to consider any experience. Therefore whatever experience you want counted, has to be in the 2 yr bracket. e.g you get a 3yr post-graduate work permit in Jan 2012 and work for 3 months i.e till March 2012, if you wait till 2014 the last year of your work permit, to complete the remaining work experience, it most likely will not be counted.
