1 year of work experience in canada-no points

[scylla]

Hi,
I sign up with another application, and i get the same score.
No points for canadian work experience.

Maybe the score only update in the next calendar month?

No - it shouldn't take a month to update. You must be doing something wrong... What NOC is your work experience in Canada under?

Please read the below :-


Canadian Experience Class selection criteria - Qualifying work experience

This section contains policy, procedures and guidance used by CIC staff. It is posted on the CIC website as a courtesy to stakeholders.

Work experience need not be continuous under the CEC.

Applicants do not have to be employed at the time of application, but they must have temporary status during the qualifying period of work experience acquired in Canada [R87.1(3)(c)].

The “Employment Requirements” listed in the NOC occupational description are not applicable.

Any periods of self-employment or unauthorized work will not be included in calculating the period of work experience [R87.1(3)(b)]. A person who has worked in Canada without authorization has failed to comply with A30(1), and on that basis could be found inadmissible under A41.

Note: Work experience acquired while under implied status will be considered as eligible work experience under the CEC, provided the applicant continued to work in Canada under the same conditions as their original work permit until a decision was made on their application for a work permit extension.

An allowance for a reasonable period of vacation time will generally be made in calculating the period of qualifying work experience (e.g., a two-week period of paid vacation leave within a given 52-week period in which the applicant was engaged in qualifying work 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.



Seems like you need to account for the vacation time in order to complete 1 year of effective work experience in Canada

The NOC is 3111

Under federal skill worker, with a lot of work experience and one year work experience in Canada.

I also don't get it what exactly does that mean . Its better to have 1 year and 1.5 months before creating EE profile.

i'm a doctor, my current score is 422, and i should get 35 points for 1 year of experience.
I hope that the score will be update until the next draw, i don't know if 457 will be enough for the pool,
Maybe my spouse will do the ielts soon in order to earn some points.

"Canadian experience" is tough for doctors, because most doctors are self-employed, and self-employment experience is not accepted. Were you self-employed for this year?

See under Canadian Work Experience, section 19 -
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/mi/express-entry.asp

"(b) a period of self-employment or unauthorized work is not to be included in calculating a period of work experience;"

I'm doing a fellowship in a general hospital, definitely not self employed.

 

[jes_ON]

OK. Did you answer "Yes" to the question about being authorized to work, and "No" to the question about studying?

OK. Are you licensed to practice in your province? I realize that it may not be required to be licensed to do the fellowship, but it is a regulated occupation, and CIC will not count work experience without the license...

Hi,
It's Work!!

OK. Did you answer "Yes" to the question about being authorized to work, and "No" to the question about studying?

I changed it "No" under the studying and this one fix it!!

Now the score is up to 457, a week late but still good

Thanks to all of you,

Good luck

If this was the problem then, what will they do about people on TA/RA position.
It sounds funny to me because that position requires enrolment in a University, yet they will not award points to people who are studying and working in that NOC? That is contradictory if you ask me.

Not really contradictory. CIC clearly excludes work experience gained while on a study permit in Canada. TA/RA requires student permit, so.... it is excluded.

That is true. Only that it looks quite unfair to say TAs/RAs cannot count the years they put in to support Profs, meanswhile one cannot be a TA/RA without being a student. So, who will do that job if not students and if all the students were working off campus, will they consider that as work experience or is the issue because the work was done at a time they were students? If the issue is because they worked at the same time they are students, does it not sound funny because students are given work permits as well as study permits? Is t not a general rule that you need a work permit coponent as a student to be able to work 20hrs/week max? Its quite a merry go round if you ask me. But I understand the point. I just feel a little itchy about it. Looks like one of those systematic/structural issues that nobody quite understands to me. Looks like creating tiers of workers too. As if to say those working while studying are not really working or are not supposed to be working. At the end of the year, they pay taxes as everyone else, yet their work is not counted as work because they are in school? Its a little itchy if you ask me. I just feel quite uncomfortable about it. There must be smething about it that we do not know. Again, I come to the point of it being structural. Anyway, sorry TAs/RAs! There is nothing that can be done on this forum.
