Medical gap in continuous work experience

[dipantika]

I have a similar situation.
Started working with the current organisation in Jan 2011 and continued till August 2016. Took a 10 months break for personal reasons and re-joined the same organisation in July 2017. So I do meet the continuous work experience requirement, should I have created 2 entries while filling out the EE profile? I entered the start date as Jan 2011 and ticked the box indicating "this is my current job" (which is true if you see). However in my reference letters, my employer has clearly mentioned that I was on a break during that period and there was no change as such in my designation or salary after I re-joined.

Should this be a problem?

Create two entries, right now you're claiming those 10 months as work experience.

But I received ITA recently. Can I change the dates in e-Apr? or should I decline the invite and then change? My CRS is 471 and cut off was 433 in the draw I got ITA.

You can make the change now assuming it doesn't affect your eligibility (if FSW applicant), explain the change in a LOE.

Its fine, you will have no issues. just add an LOE updating Cic about your break and upload the relevant medical documents alongwith to substantiate

It was not a medical break. I just needed a bit of a breather and also signed up for further studies and started with them (although that's distance education). So it was more of a study break. Technically I never left the job as such. Its mentioned as Unpaid leave in my employer's letter.

should be ok. anyways you're CRS isn't getting affected by it, cause you're above the three yrs cap. plus your employer has acknowledged it. just add the LOE so Cic knows you're being transparent

Thanks. Also, I never left that job as such. It was an unpaid leave. I can get the employer letter changed to mention it as Unpaid Leave instead of a break. Thats not a problem.

Yes I will explain everything in LOE. Thanks a lot.

I would go with the two entries approach but whatever floats your boat.

I also have 3 month medical leave but my medical leave was paid leave with no loss or reduction of pay. Does it still constitute as break in "1 year continuous employment" rule?
