1 year work experience

[salman_ali94]

Hi all.

I worked at a company for 3 months and then I got a better paying job in abu dhabi so I joined that company immediately with a gap of about 1-2 weeks. And then at the 2nd company I worked for approximately 9 months and then I left that company and came back in my home country. Both jobs were in the same NOC. Will this be counted as 1 year experience ? I have reference letter from both the companies in accordance with the express entry requirement.

I doubt that the gap of 1-2 weeks will be considered as a continuous work experience. I had a gap of 2 days (Sat and Sun) between 2 jobs of 7 months duration and they considered it as continuous 1 year.

So how much gap is acceptable in my case? Does it matter that I worked for 3 months in a company and then left it for a better one?

No it will not be considered as continuous 1 year.

No it will not be considered as continuous 1 year.

What is the meaning of this then? It is on the official website of canada immigration.....
at least 1 year (1,560 hours total / 30 hours per week), continuous:

• full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
• equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
• full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

I had an experience of 4 months in company A and 8 months in company B separated by 1 month. I was not considered for a continuous experience. If you have your experience in Canada, then they don't need the experience to be continuous for applying in a CEC category.
