Question regarding my Foreign Work Experience while being present in Canada for a short duration
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to figure out how to accurately classify a specific period of remote work for my CEC Express Entry profile.
Here is the situation:
- August 2025 – October 2025: I was physically living in Canada on a valid PGWP, but I started working remotely for a company based in my home country. I was paid directly into my home country's bank account. I was not working anywhere else during this period.
- November 2025 – Present: I moved back to my home country permanently. I have continued working full-time for this exact same employer.
My question is about that initial overlap period (August to October 2025). Since I was physically in Canada but working entirely for a foreign employer, can I count those 3 months in my Foreign Work Experience?
