Is such work experience considered for the CEC?

[AlexeyKracker]

Hello, please tell me.

I officially worked for a Canadian company for a total of 3 years, however I toured with shows around the world. It is in Canada that I have about 5 months.

How will my work experience for immigration be counted?

Thank you!

So you have a work permit? Type? What is your NOC?

You might only be able to count you actual experience in Canada. Being away for 2½ years out of 3, more than 80% of your expérience.

Even if you were paid in Canada and your employer was Canadian you were not physically in the country which could not be considered as Canadian experienced.

How would you justify not bein in the country while claiming Canadian experience? I don't see a way in which you could justify this. You could work for a Canadian employer elsewhere and that doesn't qualify as Canadian experience.

My job is to travel to different countries to perform. That is, I am not a freelancer who works from another country for a Canadian.

The essence of the work is to travel to other countries.

So LMIA exempt closed work permit. What is your current CRS score? For CEC path you need one year of Canadian work experience IN Canada to be eligible. To get an extra 50 points for job offer, you need the LMIA, and a full time job offer in Canada (not outside Canada) for one year past PR.

I can’t calculate the points now, because I don’t understand whether I can take the above experience into account as a Canadian one or not.

You have 5 months of experience in Canada. You need a year to be eligible for CEC path. You can apply for FSW. What is your NOC?

You have 5 months of Canadian work experience only. The rest is foreign work experience. You can only count the time you physically worked in Canada as Canadian work experience.

My NOC 5251

Okay so estimate your CRS score. You need to take language tests and get education assessed. You don’t have a year of Canadian, full-time employment. When you have 12 months full-time or 2 years part-time, you are eligible for CEC path. Right now, you may be eligible for FSW that has higher scores.
