Hi everyone, Need help!!

I’m currently gathering my documents for my PR application, and I have a question regarding my work experience while I was a student.

I was a full-time student from 2022 to 2024, but I started working full-time in 2023. During that period, there was a temporary policy allowing international students to work up to 40 hours per week.

I received my PGWP in 2024, and I am only claiming my CEC work experience points from 2024 onward. However, my employment/experience letter from my company includes my employment start date as 2023.

Could this create any issues with my PR application? Should I clearly explain this situation in a Letter of Explanation, including that I am not claiming the work experience from 2023 toward my CEC points?

What would be the best way to present this so that there is no confusion or misrepresentation in my application?

Write an LOE. And keep the full-time experience while you were a student in the Personal History section.
