Anyone working on Cruise

[sk.aggarwal]

I am planning to submit application for my brother who was working on cruise.

1. What is the address/country should we mention for this work experience. Cruise company was registered in Italy but he was never there for more than a day or two.
2. He used to work based on employment contract which was for 9 months. So he used to get 9 months work and 3 months vacations. Will this count for 1 yr job exp or 9 months.
3. If I get visa stamped soon, will he be able to get additional 5 points, although I may not have landed.

Please help to advice.

I am planning to submit application for my brother who was working on cruise.

1. What is the address/country should we mention for this work experience. Cruise company was registered in Italy but he was never there for more than a day or two. ----In my opinion, It shoud be the country where cruise company has been registered.

2. He used to work based on employment contract which was for 9 months. So he used to get 9 months work and 3 months vacations. Will this count for 1 yr job exp or 9 months. - (Practically) 9 months- & only if the employment contract mentions that employee is hired for 9 months and paid for 9 months, excluding 3 months vacation.
3. If I get visa stamped soon, will he be able to get additional 5 points, although I may not have landed.
your immigration process technically is complete only when you are landed in Canada. So I doubt about that. Please be informed that soon there will be some changes to cic immigration program.
Let's wait for seniors' comments
good luck!

Is your brother coming in as a FSW? Crew and officers on cruise ships often work 13+ hours a day/7 days a week. The equivalent of 1,950 hours can be reached in just over 5 months. If your brother worked hours similar to this for 9 months, he would have more than a years' work. If his work fell in on of the NOC38 categories, would he be able to claim that as a full year equivalent? Does the term "work in excess" have any relevance here?
