Foreign work experience question - 11 months?

[veritas]

Thank you guys for the insights. We are missing the three year mark just by 1 month. My spouse has 35 months of foreign work experience. :-[ :-[

CIC says that for calculating foreign work experience, two separate full-time jobs in the same NOC will be considered as one job. It does not say what the case would be for two different NOCs.

Any thoughts?

With 3 years of work experience our score could have been 473. Now its 448. Is there even a point in having an Express Entry profile now?

Work experience is capped at 30 hours per week, regardless of NOC.

When filling out the "Work history" section of my EE profile for each job you've had you're only asked to provide month and year of when you started working and month and year of when you finished working for that job.

Turns out I have foreign work experience that started on a 31st of May and ended on April the 30th of the next year. So it is actually 11 months + 1 day though it does span 12 months because of that one day of May that I worked. Now, EE is giving me points for one full year of work experience since apparently all they care about is months and years and not specific dates.

What do you guys think about this? Especially those of you who know someone or have any experience with someone who applied under the FSW category pre EE, where people were asked to prove they've worked for one year. I do have my reference letter from my employer and pay slips to boot. Should I go ahead and keep this in my EE profile (and retain my points) or should I scrap it off my profile since it's actually 11 months + 1 day and not 12 months?

hello did you got any solution for this type of case, I'm also in the same case, below are my details
While filling express entry profile for the experience it asked only months, so I selected months
Jan 2012 to April 2014 india
April 2014 to April 2016 Canada onsite
May 2016 to Dec 2016 india
it calculated as 2 yrs canada and 3 yrs india experience so 2+3 I got 50 points
but actual period is
Jan 19, 2012 to April 13 2014 india
April 14 2014 to April 30 2016 canada
May 1 2016 to dec 22, 2016 india
If I calculate technically it's 2yr 16 days for canada and 2 yrs 10 months 17 days india
will it be a problem to pass eligibility, I'm worried as the points are calculated by the system but my actual period is not meeting 3 yrs Indian experience

Please reply I may get rejected for this?

any foreign work experience it has to be 1 continuous year for you to claim points for that experience...when you put your work experience on your profile..even though the system might calculate it for a year and give you those extra points...dont assume the cic officers will...the officers will check if you have actually worked for that one year when they are verifying your points....if at that time, if you lost the 30 points and your score fell below the cut off for that draw...then application might be rejected due to "more points claimed"...so as coolhyd said be very careful before you claim those points...
all that matters to an officer regarding your foreign work experience is the date you joined and the date you left on your employment certificate/experience letter...if that duration is 1 year or more...you can use it to claim points

hope that helps!

Yes assuming your score falls below the cutoff score once the officer calculates your foreign work experience as 2 years of work experience.

Canadian work experience of 1 year is counted in days. If yours is above 365 days you qualify for CEC.

Hello Guys,

My problem is also related to same kind of Dilemma of Work Experience. Below is my spouse case :

If we take in terms of Days, then below is the details :
2nd Aug'11 to 14th Dec'13 - 865 Days or 28 Months & 13 Days
13th Oct'14 to 22nd May'15 - 221 Days or 7 Months & 9 Days
In Total it will be 1086 Days or 35 Months & 22 Days (3 years would term to 365*3= 1095 Days or 36 months).

So in such case, it will be short by 9 Days.

Now, if we fill the information in EE profile based on the months and year they provide, below will be the scenario :
Aug'11 to Dec'13 - 29 Months
Oct'14 to May'15 - 8 Months
In Total = 37 Months.

The difference points in both the cases will be 428 Points based on 2 years and 453 Points based on 3 years.

Please help me to determine which one is correct.

Also, if we consider it less than 3 years, the how we will make it in EE Profile. Because, you need to put it in the below way :

2nd Aug'11 = Aug'11 and 14th Dec'13 = Dec'13 (Here, we can't put it as Nov'13, since it will be misrepresentation).
13th Oct'14 = Oct'14 and 22nd May'15 = May'15 (Here, we can't put it as Sep'14 or Apr'15, since it will be misrepresentation).

Please share your views.

Regards

Did you get any response or received your PR, since even I am having similar case.

Did you get any response or received your PR, since even I am having similar case.

We applied with the above months only (37 Months). However, later on we came to know, that our school teaching experience of 9 months will also be counted in the overall experience, even though it is for different NOC. So our Total experience goes beyond 3 years. So the confusion eliminates with that.
Currently, we have filed the application and is in the last stage and waiting for the PPR.

Hi Nishanth, Do you have any clarity on this yet? I have the same case.

Hello, my reference letter states August 2014 to September 2015. I am able to get notarized letters from my ex colleagues showing I was working with them from June 2014 and also an email deploying me to my position. Can the notarized letter and reference letter as well as bank statements showing salary payment from same employer be enough to claim one year foreign work experience. Thanks
