Work done after completion of studeis but before work permit comes

[cec immigration]

My work permit is expiring soon. I completed my studies in August 2014. I applied for my work permit September 2014 and started working on September 20, 2014 after applying for post graduate work permit. My work permit came on November 2014. Now can I apply under express entry from September 20, 2015 after completion of 1 year of work or should I need to wait till November 20, 2015. I don't want to leave for my home country and then apply. Does work done after completion of studies and after applying for work permit but before the work permit comes counted under CEC.

How did you work before receiving your Post graduate work permit?
have you had any off-campus work permit during that time?

I had a off campus work permit. Students are allowed to work full time after applying for work permit.

Hi,

I Have applied for CEC under 2014 regulations . I had exactly 53 weeks of work experience, which also includes 5 weeks of work experience after graduation date (course completion date) and before I received my PG work permit. I was on Off-campus work permit, working full time then.

I called up CIC to confirm if it was a valid work experience towards CEC and they said Yes!. I hope they were right.

Vark.
