paid internship after gradutaion

[jeevananth]

Hi Guys,

I did PG certificate and I was graduated in Dec 14 2018. I did my co-op between Sep 17 2018 and Dec 14 2018. The company I did co-op gave me a paid internship after my graduation which had a start date of Dec 21, 2018 till April 26 2019. I applied for PGWP in Dec 20 and started working from Dec 21, 2018. My study permit expires on March 30, 2019. My payslip says my role as co-op/intern.

will the work I did between Dec 21 and Apr 26 be counted as a work experience for CEC since its not a continuous co-op and I was given a different offer letter which no where says I am a co-op?

You have paid employment after graduation, after applying for the PGWP. Why wouldn't it count?

My concern is I am now working in my study permit now although I have applied for my PGWP .

No, you are not "working on your study permit", you are authorized to work after submitting a PGWP application -
Yes, as now is more clearly explained on IRCC's website -

See the section "Work authorization after submitting a post-graduation work permit application" at the bottom -
