Hello,

first of all, let me thank you for the great support. I really appreciate help from the whole community.

I would like to create EE profile while I have my WES results ready. Now the thing which confuses me:

In CRS tool, there are the fields for work experience:

1] Canadian work experience in NOC 0, A or B in last 3 years -> I have a work experience in Canada for a year and two months uninterrupted under one employer

2] Work experience in NOC 0, A or B in last 10 years -> I have about 900 hours part-time in Europe, but it probably does not count. BUT does the Canadian work experience count here too? or not?

When I put 1 year and 1 year (1 year of Canadian work exp + 1 year of work exp), it gives more than 1year and None or less than one year (1 year of Canadian work exp only).

Can anyone elaborate on this?

In case my question is not clear, please, let me know.

That is good that you have more than one year of Canadian work experience, what was the NOC? BTW, it does not have to be "uninterrupted" or with one employer, however.


2] Work experience in NOC 0, A or B in last 10 years -> I have about 900 hours part-time in Europe, but it probably does not count. BUT does the Canadian work experience count here too? or not?


This section is for foreign work experience (even though that is not clear). Do not include your Canadian experience here.

You can count part-time work experience (as long as it is a skilled NOC), but you have to (a) make sure it meets IRCC's definition of part-time (fewer than 30 hours per week), and then you have to prorate it - you add up all part-time hours and divide by 30, that will give you the number of weeks of Full-time equivalent work experience.
