Hi,

I graduated from 8 months ( 2 semesters) post grad certification program today. I have concerns regarding my physical stay requirement in order to claim 15 points towards Canadian education as I travelled to my home country for 3 weeks during my study vacation since my father-in-law passed away.

I came to Canada on 23rd Aug 2017

I graduated on 3rd May 2018

I was absent during December ( 3 weeks)

Should I wait till I complete my exact 8 months stay to claim my 15 points in Express entry ? or can I update now and anyway I would meet this requirements when I respond back to invite fromCIC.

I appreciate you time and help

Andi

I believe as long as you were still enrolled in school then it’s fine. I’m sorry about your dad!
