Confused about Work Experience in the EE Profile

[slashmaybe]

Hi,

The following is my work experience over the past 6 years (all are full-time, paid):

Mar 2013 - Dec 2013 - NOC 2282
Dec 2013 - Apr 2014 - NOC 2281
Apr 2014 - July 2015 - NOC 2171
Aug 2015 - Nov 2017 - NOC 2283 (around 20 days break as I was transferred to same company's India office)
Jan 2018 - current - NOC 5121
(almost 3 month voluntary break)

5121 is the NOC I want to work in my entire life

My questions are:
Do I put 2283 or 5121 as my primary NOC?

And importantly, how many years of experience does the system consider this to be (For how many years will I get points) - is it 2 years or 6 years?

I'm confused because of many answers on this forum which are the along the lines of the following:
" If you have atleast 1 year of continuous, full-time work in one NOC, you can claim the remaining work experience"

Example: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...query-for-multiple-noc-for-ee-profile.589838/

Pinging this up. Any help would be appreciated - need to post the EE profile today or tomorrow.

You can use either 2283 or 5121. It's entirely up to you as long as you can meet the eligibility requirements.

For CRS purpose, you can claim points from all your part experience. No need to go for 6 years as you get max points for 3.

Thanks much ContactFront - I get the first part of your answer. I am planning to put 2283 as NOC.

The second part of your answer - yes, you're right, for CRS 3 years would yield max points. But do you think my work profile (as listed above) is capable of yielding max points - given that my work experience in one NOC is 2 years and 3 months?

Experience from different NOCs can be combined for CRS purpose.

Do you mean to say that after I submit my work experience (as listed above) through the online EE application (pre-ITA) - the system is capable of combining work experience through different NOCs?

Or is this to be taken care of during the PR application, post-ITA? (provided I even get it as my points without the 3 yr. work experience is not great)

Yes. And again, you only need 3 years, no need to list them all in work history.

Got it, thank you!
