Work experience gained partially through off campus work permit

[T8536]

Hello

I have a concern in regards to pr application under the cec. I applied already and my application was received by March 24th. I got my file number as well.i just got to know on the cec website, that we should have gained the whole one year experience through the PGWP. I started working at my current job since february 2013 with my off campus work permit and got my PGWP on the 10th of april 2013. I applied for cec on the 24th of march 2014.
Its clear that iv worked for around 40 days under the off campus work permit.
Im just wondering if anyone is under the same situation as mine and whether they have been contacted by cec yet.
Note: i got my file number already.
Is there usually a case of rejection for this particular situation?
Ideas are really appreciated. I understand we should be patient, i just wanted sone information still.
Thank you

I have same situation.
I graduated on 14 December, 2012 (Specifically mentioned on Graduation Certificate) I started working on 24th December full-time on OCWP. I got my PGWP on March 27, 2013. So the work I did will be taken into consideration as I graduated on 14 December, 2012 (OP25a says you experience is not taken into consideration if you were full-time student).So in your case if you can prove that you graduated before your start date then you don't have to worry about anything. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the ideas.
I actually graduated dec 2012 and its dated on my transcript and certificate as well. And i started working feb 2013. Im guessing it should be counted. I will probably email cic and ask more in regards to this situation.
The question us that its not quite clear on the website, whether its only while you are in school and was working under off campus work permit which will not be counted or working after grad under the OCWP could be counted until you get your PGWP.
If i may ask, did you get any confirmation or reply yet from cec, as i already got my file number.

OP25a mentions "Any period of employment during which the applicant was engaged in full-time study will
not be included in calculating the period of qualifying work experience (e.g., work
experience gained through co-op work permits, off-campus work permits while a full-time
student and on-campus work permits). [R87.1(3)(a)]"

It say PA engaged in full time study will not be included. But we graduated in December 2012. Graduation Certificate and Transcript are proof.

i heard that the files are being processed faster now. lets just hope for the best.
best of lucks!

Just want to ask, have you receive MR? I also used work experience with off campus work permit. Didn't hear anything yet.

as long as you graduated before your experience will be counted.
