I have my question on this board multiple times and i have found mixed answers...
1) My Canadian employer had sent me to US for 2 months for training. I wanted to ask will that count as Canadian experience or not as my Canadian employer was still paying me in Canada
2) Express Entry only count months. So even though i started working in May 2014, it gave me one year points in April. What should i do in that case?? Reject the ITA or dont worry??
1) If I were you and have spent 12 months with the employer but 2 out of 12 months were spent in another country on official trip either for meetings/training or whatever the case was then I would play safe and wait for another 2 months within Canada. I wouldn't wanted to give any chance to immigration officer to overload his/her mind on thinking and calculating my working time in and outside the Canada.
For you, it is your call either you want to wait for another 2 months or what so ever is your plan, thats on you.
2)If I were you and have started my job for example on May 15, 2014 then I would wait for May 15, 2015 regardless of whatever points were given to me by the EE system. Every one knows EE is a new system and it would take time for these errors to be recitfied. I would rely on the definition of full 1 year experience defined by CIC many many years ago.
My answers are based on common sense and if ever happen to me then I would follow exactly the same as I suggested.
Good luck!
