Hi,
I would like to know if the one-year full-time experience (or the equivalent in part-time work) needs to be with the SAME employer or if I can still apply if I worked 6 months full-time for company A and 6 for company B, and assuming both jobs meet the NOC requirements?
Many thanks!

You're almost there (getting +1, :D)
So, what you're saying is that if I'm a Marketing Coordinator right now and get another job as, I don't know, HR Manager, or Homestay Coordinator, because the NOC and duties would be different that wouldn't meet the requirements?

That's not correct.

You can work in any skilled position and combine the experience.
The requirement for CEC is 12 months of full-time skilled experience, not 12 months in the same position and same
duties.

Ps.: You either get a positive rating or you don't, but asking for one is cheap. :eek:

Well u should meet the NOC skill level.
According to the Canadian National Occupational Classification (NOC), skilled work experience means:

Managerial jobs (NOC skill type 0)
Professional jobs (NOC skill type A)
Technical jobs and skilled trades (NOC skill type B)

So ur exp need to be in one of them either 0,A or B..so if both of ur jobs fall in skills. It will work

I do... how do you give people +1? I'm new here ::)
I don't know if you can rate people yet. I think you need a few more posts before
you can rate people.
But to do so, check the left side of the forum, it should look like this:

Posts: 1205
Ratings: +13
[Good] [Poor] <<<<< that's the part where you can rate people. Good for +1 and Poor for -1.

If you can't see the Good/Poor yet, keep posting and it'll show up eventually.
Hope this helps.

Yeah, I don't have that on the side bar yet :(
I literally just signed up half an hour ago. I can't believe I haven't done that before - almost 5 years in Canada, gone through so many visas, and with them anxiety, questions, and really need for support... that I'm glad to be part of this community now.
I hope I can help people like you just helped me. Thanks again!
