Hi i have 2.5 years of work experience as a Manager in Services business but during the same time i have around 1.2 months in different NOC as part time. They overlap. Can i consider it as 3 years of experience. Both NOC are eligible.
Thanks
 
But I am confused why my refusal letter doesn't state that the problem was with my foreign work exp. letter. I am trying to understand what the exact reason of the refusal was. The letter is not very clear to me.
Can you copy paste the duties of NOC2171 in your reference letter and share them with us?
 
The real question is the reason for refusal which is still unclear

NOC2171 and IT project manager look like a mismatch to me. The essence of 2171 is information system ANALYSIS, which is to enhance the operation of information system.

While the essence of IT Project Coordinator is on a project-to-project basis. the key is project management which is different from NOC2171.

No. If your part-time work was done at the same time as the full-time work, no, there will be no benefit to claiming the part-time work experience. Full-time is just full-time. Doesn't matter if you work 30, 40, or 80 hours in a week, whether it is in one, two or more jobs, it is still just one part-time week.
