work experiance after graduation

[samir3132]

Is there any one here who apply in cec class and get aor counting one year experience from the date of graduation? Not from pgwp start date?

I don't think so.

This is a topic of major argument/discussion, but in the end, we have decided that it is better to start counting FROM the day you had received your PGWP.

Agree with iamroth, they are not asking for ur graduation certificate. But they ask for most recent work permit, which is PGWP. So your work experience starts from PGWP issue date.

I call call center number iI tell them my situation and they tell me that count from the date of graduation and my lawyer also tell me same thing.

Hey Bud ,
I am Pretty Sure ,Its from the day your PGWP starts but you never know !!! You might want to call them again and ask ! I remember one of my friend had this problem of whether to show the experience from the graduation day or PDWP start day.
ON CIC website the conditions are just

A)maintained temporary resident status during their qualifying period of work experience, and provide documentation to establish they had legal temporary status in Canada,
B)acquired at least 12 months of full-time (or the equivalent in part-time) skilled work experience in Canada in occupations that fall under Skill Type 0, or Skill Level A or B of the National Occupational Classification (NOC),
C)obtained the required work experience within the 36 months preceding the date their application is received,

there is nothing mentioned about the PGWP....its just you should be authorized to work in Canada.

Participating students can work up to 20 hours per week during their regular academic sessions, while they are registered as full-time students. They may work full-time during scheduled breaks (e.g., winter/summer holidays, reading week) and during the transition time to a post-graduation work permit
