Good luck. Are you eligible for EE now?
I received ITA Dec 2019 and AOR Jan 2020 - Received my GCMS notes this week and they say review is required for my work history. So I was wondering whether I had misunderstood the criteria and if I was going to get rejected... So hopefully not and it gets processed without any issues!

ps thanks! Have you been through the FSW-O process?
No but have some background. Make sure you have your IELTS and ECA completed to submit your profile. If you are eligible, you may want to get your profile in the pool. The Canadian government has indicated they will change EE to focus on in-demand NOCs.

Yes, you can claim 3 years work experience. There are 2 factors at play here. First is your eligibility for FSW and second is your CRS score for ITA purposes. They are basically independent from each other.
.
To be eligible for FSW you need to have at least 1 year of continuous work experience under your primary NOC (1122 in your case) in the last 10 years. You have almost 3 years under NOC 1122, so you comply with the work experience requirement for FSW.

For the sake of your CRS score, you can include experience gained across multiple NOCs, including your primary in the last 10 years.
This has been helpful. However, can you clarify - My current job NOC which would be the primary NOC is category A but my other experience is in category C. Can i add noc Category C experience as my secondary experience when they only recognise EE experience experience in 0 A & B?

Thanks. Just to be clear my primary category A job experience is 18 months. There have been some agents mentioning my other experience likes sales can be an add on experience. Is there any reference link to review?

Hi! I am in the same boat as you. Nov 2020 AOR and review required on the work experience points. What's the update? I'm very nervous and wish they would clarify if my experience counts as 3 years.

@afc1 I have the same situation. Have they passed your eligibility?

Hi both - Apologies, not very active on this forum anymore! Unfortunately no real updates or progress - I had another GCMS a few months back and was still as RR.

I spoke to an immigration consultant who advised I leave it in the background and focus on other avenues.

Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful and good luck with the process!
