I am looking to apply under either FSW or PNPAragorn165 said:We had basically this exact same thread yesterday, and the answer has not changed since then.
If you are applying for CEC, this work experience does not count.
If you are not applying for CEC, this work experience does not count if it was accrued in Canada.
If you are not applying for CEC, this work experience counts as long as it was accrued anywhere but Canada.
Then the work experience will count, yes- as long as this work experience was not accrued in Canada.zworks said:I am looking to apply under either FSW or PNP
As long as you didnt work in canada, but somewhere abroad, you will be fine. Just make sure you can get a proper employment letter with all the required information in it to be able to show proof of employment.zworks said:I am looking to apply under either FSW or PNP
great thanks, i was and still residing outside Canada, but was working for clients around the world as a freelancer. I am wondering if i should have work experience letter from specified clients or i have to show proof that i worked that much hours of time at a whole, if the former is the case, then i will not be able to collect letters from hundreds of freelance clients!!Andre_Smol said:As long as you didnt work in canada, but somewhere abroad, you will be fine.

Thats IRCC's take on self-employment:zworks said:great thanks, i was and still residing outside Canada, but was working for clients around the world as a freelancer.

The previous quote from IRCC only applied to self-employment.PTwife said:Hi, I just need clarification with regard to "work exp outside Canada."
If I'm under open work permit for 2 years as accompanying/dependent spouse/partner and worked, say, as a caregiver for two years, that has no bearing for EE application? Or were you just talking about the self employed part? Thanks!
You're fine, the discussion here is only relevant to the question about work experience pre graduation.PTwife said:Hi, I just need clarification with regard to "work exp outside Canada."

What is your source for this information? Why would it not count in CEC? The rules for what experience gives you points are identical for FSW and CEC. The only difference are the conditions for qualifying one-year experience.Aragorn165 said:We had basically this exact same thread yesterday, and the answer has not changed since then.

Hi, Thanks for the information. Would you please give some reference/source clarifying that the experience gained outside Canada before the bachelor degree, counts as work experience even when the NOC mentions the job requirement as bachelor degree ?Then the work experience will count, yes- as long as this work experience was not accrued in Canada.
