Overlapping of work experience in Canadian Experience Class

[StarguyDan]

Hi everyone,

I have a question in regards to the overlapping of work experience for Canadian Experience Class. I started working at

Job A: March 2023 to Sept 2023 (7 months)

Job B: June 2023 to current ( would only get 10 months before i run out of work permit)

I want to claim points for both the jobs since they both are TEER 2 and I am trying to complete 1 year of experience. Can someone please let me know if overlapping of jobs should be fine? I am been stressing a lot and would really appreciate if someone can please share their insights on this.

Overlapping jobs are fine but you cannot claim work experience twice for one period. So let's say the overlapping period where you worked two full time jobs is 5 months, you cannot claim this as 10 months of work experience since you were working two full time jobs, it will still only count as 5 months of work experience.

Thank you very much for your quick response

Right now you have one year of experience. You will have two years once you have worked past March 2025.

Thank you. I have another question in regards to selecting my Primary NOC. The Primary NOC that I selected was from foreign work experience in which I have almost 2 years of work experience. I was thinking of making Job B as my Primary NOC. When I tried to edit with my Job B this morning, I got a message that my profile is ineligible. Do you know why I got ineligible? Is it because the I don't have 1 year of experience in the NOC I am trying to Primary? I won't be able to have 1 year experience individually in either job A or job B except when I will combine both. So in that case I should keep my primary NOC the same I had before?

Is this foreign or Canadian experience? Do you have a year of Canadian experience? Pick the one you have a year of experience in.

The one that I selected before was 2 years of foreign work experience. But I was thinking of making my Canadian Job B (so far 9 months) to make the primary NOC. So I can only pick primary NOC in which I have 1 year of experience?

Change it when you have your year of Canadian experience.

Problem is I won't have 1 year of experience in my current Canadian job since I will be out of work permit. In that case I should keep my foreign work experience NOC as primary? If I will combine my 2 Canadian job experience that's when I will be making 1 year collectively but not individually in either job.
