Hi there,

I am calculating my CRS scores for next year. By next year, I will have a full year full-time working experience in Canada. On the CRS page, for question 6ii, it is asking as follow: "ii. In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience do you have?
It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B)."

Does this mean foreign work experience ONLY or does this include Canadian work experience as well?

Also, will this very vague question appear in the actual application page which is used to determines your actual score as well?

Thanks for the help!

One question is for Canadian work experience (specified); the other is for foreign work experience only (not specified, badly worded, everyone agrees).


Also, will this very vague question appear in the actual application page which is used to determines your actual score as well?

Questions in the profile will be a lot more detailed.

So if I choose "none" for this one, the score form the calculator would be the same as if I create the profile? Or would it still be a little bit different? If so, would the real score be lower or higher?

Thanks !

It should be approximately the same as the "real" score, but it all depends on how you answer the questions. If it is drastically different, you can guess that you answered something incorrectly.
