Hi @legalfalcon ,
My query is regarding CEC experience for Express entry.
I am working with Canadian employer (Export House) on Canadian work permit and had been working full time in Canada since June 2021 ( 40 hours weekly and paying income tax) . Now company is sending me for assignment/onsite to one of their vendor's country based in Europe for 3 months (while being on Canadian employer payroll) .
My query is that can claim/mention duration I spend outside Canada (in Europe) fell under CEC category as per Canadian immigration Laws and then while creating express entry profile? Or duration worked outside canada would be excluded while calculating Canadian experience?
An allowance for normal vacation time during a period of qualifying work experience cannot be used as a substitute or proxy for meeting the in-Canada element of the work experience requirement (i.e., work experience obtained outside Canada will not be considered as though the applicant had been on a period of vacation in order to be counted as part of the period of in-Canada work experience). While officers will account for a reasonable period of vacation time in calculating the period of qualifying work experience in Canada, each application is considered on its own merits with a final decision based on a review of all the information available to the officer at the time of decision.
