Hello,
‘My question is regarding claiming points for Canadian work experience under Canadian Experience Class for a
oot7ss
candidate who is on an [EC work permit issued to them in July 2024 under the Young professionals. :
Previously, they were in Canada on another IEC Work permit under the Working Holiday program, starting July
2022. The ease scenario is that while the candidate was on their Working Holiday program, they were also
completing their program of education - Bachelor's degree - remotely ffom their home country, that they completed
in March 2024.
Can this candidate chim Canadian Work Experience while they were completing their degree simultaneously from
their home country remotely from the period of July 2022 to March 2024?
Looking forward to your response.
“Thanks and regards,
oot76s
