ELIGIBILITY FOR CANADAIAN EXPERIANCE CLASS

[mohd000]

Hi

Very Good Evening

My name is Mohammed.I came to canada on study permit on 27th April 2011.I completed my studies and graduated on 27th April 2012.I applied for Post Graduated Work Permit on 21st June 2012 and got work permit from 27th July 2012 to 27th july 2013(1 year)

I started my job on 17th June 2012 as Kitchen Designer and my one year will get completed on 17th june 2013.I want to apply for Permanent residence under Canadian Experiance Class.I called CIC Custome Care about knowing my eligibility and they told me that one year will get counted from day you recieved your post Graduated WorkPermit not from the day you started job.
I again called cic and they said period when you applied for Post Grad Work permit will count for canadian experiance class.So i am confused with different answers.

As per CIC Website:
Note: Any periods of self-employment, unauthorized work, or periods of employment during which you were engaged in full-time study (e.g. work experience gained on a co-op, off-campus or on-campus work permit) will not be included when calculating the period of qualifying work experience. You must have had temporary resident status during the period of work experience acquired in Canada.

I started my job on 17th june 2012 and at that time i was not full time student so i want to know why that experiance willnot count or on 21st june 2012 i applied for Post Graduated Work permit and while waiting for that i was doing job so why that period will not count.

Please clearify this and mail me back as i have to apply my permanent residency under Canadian Experiance Class and has to apply for Bridge Open Work Permit.

Thanks
Mo
