You misunderstood my question...Can I claim points for certificate of qualification which I obtained from British Columbia..under cec in express entry?
Check your noc job code and go through qualifications and licences required and if it something you can get from a registered college the yes example mine I can have a qualification from Ontario colleges of trades and u see cec I can get points for it

Hello All,
I am having a serious confusion with my Express Entry Profile as I am thinking to put my profile in Express Entry pool next month.
I am having one year of Job experience in Canada (Currently Working), so that will make me eligible for CEC.
But I want to add my foreign work experience from back home which is as below:

Job 1: College lecturer (Mechanical): 10 Months NOC 4021
Job 2: Mechanical Design Engineer: 6 Months (straight away from my first job)
Job 3: College Lecturer (Mechanical): 8 Months (Had a gap between job 2 and job 3) NOC 4021.

I already have one year of continuous experience in canada so can I claim my points for foreign work experience as well?
Any help and suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, as long as you can document the experience...

Thanks a ton sir as you clarified it. I do have all the documents to support (Reference letters, Salary slips, Joining Letter, Relieving letter ) my foreign experience. but the NOC for Job 1 and Job 2 is different, which I forgot to mention.

Doesn´t matter, as long as they are both Skilled NOCs (O, A, or B).

Hi all,

I will be doing my permanent resident application next year under CEC as I will complete one year of Canadian work experience. I tried to apply only on the basis of my education in Canada and foreign work experience (India), however, my crs score is not reaching up to the cut-off. I wanted to ask that, what documents do I require for foreign work experience other than an employment letter? Do I need pay stubs and bank statements both or just pay stubs or just bank statements? Also, do I need for the last six months of employment or the whole duration of employment?

Thank you in advance. Prompt answers appreciated.

Regards,
Shravan

Hi, for my application I only gave them an employment letter for my foreign work experience. As for the points for foreign experience, that would depend on the years of experience you worked and the IELTS score you have as well. And all other points can get from different aspects like education, status, age, experience etc... You can check your crs score based on their criteria charts.

or you can do it manually,

hope that helps. keep safe! Good luck!

If you have the pay stub I think you can attach it to be sure. I dont have any pay stub thats why I couldnt include it. But for the rest of my work experience in Canada, I included either my T4 or some recent pay stubs.
Good luck!
