Does oversea business travel time count as work experience in canada?

Hi everyone,I worked in a Canadian company for 13 month then I was laid off, but during this period I spent about two month working in another country. Am I qualified to apply under CEC? Please help! Thank you!

As long as there was no change in your employer, and your paychecks were coming from the same place just like the other 10 months, there should not be a problem

Hi

Agreed, I work for a USA based company and although I was based in Canada, paid here etc any days out on business were not counted towards my work experience in Canada.

Thx
