One more thing. If my primary NOC does not match with my current job, is that okay? My current job is only 3 months long. My primary NOC is a job I had for 3 years from 2012-2015.

That's fine.

In fact, if you don't want to include your current job in your profile you don't have to because, with only 3 months under your belt, you won't get any CRS points for it. If and when you get an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence, and are filling out the questionnaire portion of the eAPR (electronic application for permanent residence), you can add your current job to your 'Personal History' section (since you will have to disclose it), but if you include it in your Express Entry profile, and then don't remove it when it automatically transfers over to the 'Work History' section of your eAPR, you're going to have to provide proof of the experience (a work experience reference letter from your Company) even though you're not getting any points for it.

Just food for thought (but not REALLY anything you have to worry about right now, as you can always remove it from your Work History once you get an ITA and are completing the application).

Hi all,

I just applied for Express Entry, and within 5 minutes, got a message saying the I was ineligible for Express Entry. However, I checked my eligibility multiple times (and am eligible), and my calculated score is ~540.
I hope your eligibility issue is resolved. I am just curious to know how you calculated 540 CRS score? With your profile, with a Masters degree and 3 years of work ex, how did you reach 540?

I think my own issue was the hours of work per week I put 45
Asides that every other thing is fine I even have a sibling with pr but they said to Waite after 24 hours also if no score was displayed

Hi there

As long as your Noc belongs to Noc O.A.B, you can combine those two working experience towards CEC minimum requirement.

Is this your total work experience? If yes, can you please mention the exact dates of employment here?

Hi.. I worked at company A as Jr.Analyst from Jan 2017 to November 2017. Then moved to Company B in November 2017 (no breaks) and still working the same role. Both the roles are under same NOC. Thanks.

Okay. If there was no gap at all, then you can count it as 1 year of work experience.
