All,

While calculating my CRS points, I'm not sure I underdtand clearly what CIC really wanted to say under Work Exp# section, as per them:

i. In the last ten years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada do you have?
It must have been paid and full-time (or an equal amount in part-time).

Now, I've worked in CA 3 times in last 10 years, out of which 2 time I worked for 8-9 months and 3rd time it was 1.5 yrs...

Can I say in dropdown selection as total 3 yrs or work exp# last to be 1 year min...to be counted?

you can combine all your skilled work experience (NOC level O, A, or B). If the work was less than 30 hours per week, it is deemed part-time and you have to pro-rate it.

Note that your points will be different if you say you have a full 3 years vs more than 2 but less than 3years... When you go to apply later on, you will need to provide exact dates and IRCC will use those to calculate your experience. So if it is 35 months instead of 36, you should say 2 years to get a more accurate estimation...

one quick question here
i was trying to calculate my CRS score

i have 2 degrees i.e. BBA (3 year program) and MBA (1 year program) from the same university

so in my education bracket do i mention Two or more certificate / diplomas / degrees. One must be for a program of three years or more. OR Bachelors Degree. Three or more year program at a university because i remember my cousin who is a citizen in Canada told me that 16 years of education is counted as Bachelors in Canada.

I need to know this because this creates a lot of difference in the calculation of my CRS score.

Check your ECA report , it depends upon the report.. but i guess based on given info, ECA may give as two bachelor degrees.. you may apply for "Two or more ".

If it was evaluated as the equivalent of a Canadian MBA, you would put "master's degree."
