Hi All!!
I am CEC applicant with 2 years 11 months foreign work experience, but my Express Entry profile is updated with the points equivalent to (full 3 year experience).
Now, I cannot complete my "3 years foreign work experience" as well as not include it since it drastically drops my points. What would be my possible options?
HELP!!

TIA

So, i didnt apply yet but i was thinking to apply as 3 years. But one of my friend told me that it can be problem and i am thinking to write 2 years now.
There is no place you can write 2 years. system asks only month and year and calculates accordingly

hi,
I have similar issue of 2y11m exp but system took it as 3 years and now I am thinking shall I accept or decline? Did you accept yours?
Your score if after taking into consideration 2 years is more than the score in which the cutoff was done then you are good to go else its better to decline and wait

Thanks. Suppose I am declining and how should I put my work exp in pool because the pool will always consider it as 3 years?

Hi, I’m a CEC candidate, currently in the pool with 471 CRS. I did not include my back home experience since I thought it will be difficult for me to get the evidence of work though I worked there for almost 3 years. However, I mentioned my back home work experience when I first applied for my Study permit.

My current EE profile is going to expire on January 10, 2023. Now I’ve to create a new EE profile. will it be a problem if I claim my back home experience in my new profile?

Fortunately, I was able to fetch enough evidence of my foreign work experience recently. I also have 2 years of Canadian experience.

The system will automatically consider it as 3 years. There's no need to worry

and the officer won’t reduce the points?
Yes, the officer will reduce the points once they review your application.

I don't understand why the officer will reduce your points for 3 years of foreign work experience. As a CEC applicant, I got points for 1 year 3 months of foreign work experience. If 1 year of foreign work experience is seen as an asset that gets you CRS points, why would 3 years detract from your points?
