I loved your feedback on this post, hoping you could help me too .Your lawyers don't have any magical insight-- the government of Canada is very transparent about the process on their website, and you can freely check what your score would be using their online calculator. You can play around with the number of years of work experience that you claim points for to see how it impacts your score.
I would have had a score of 481 if I had listed ALL of my relevant work experience under my NOC in my EE profile. I chose not to list all of it because I didn't need the extra points and wouldn't have been able to get the appropriate documentation from my previous employers anyway. I ended up only listing my most recent job with 2 years of full-time experience, giving me a score of 456. Post-ITA I listed my older work experience in my personal history and explained in my LOE the reason I didn't claim points for it. I never received any ADR. They don't seem to care as long as the work that you ARE claiming points for is thoroughly evidenced.
Alternately, as you sort of alluded to, you do have the option to move work experience from your work experience section to your personal history section post-ITA, but if you do this, your score will be re-calculated post-submission to make sure that it does not fall below the cutoff score for your round. You would also provide a brief explanation in your LOE about why you moved the work experience to personal history. It is not unheard of for people to do this. Work experience that is in personal history does not need to be supported with evidence.
Does anyone have any advice about the above? I am in a similar situation. I am claiming for 3 years self employment (foreign) which overlaps into a full time job featured in my personal history. It is entirely truthful - I was working horrible hours during that time period and both were full time.Hi Guys,
I have an issue concerning the personal history section. I worked two jobs at a time, one full time and the other part time. I am claiming points for the full time work and I mentioned the part time work in my personal history which is clashing with the same time as my full time work. Will that be an issue?
Should I leave the part time out?
Hino you can't. you have to mention it, you won't need to provide documents. please rereead the thread you're in.
similar answer, if you're not claiming points you just put it in persona history only, no need to explain anythingHi
I have a similar situation. I have the work permit in my passport. Which is a good way of explaining in a letter of explanation that I have not given proof or put in work experience section as I am not claiming points for it or employer is not willing to give me the documents?
Thanks for your response but what if during my express entry (pre ITA) I mentioned it in the work experience. Its just 1 year which does not change my CRS score.similar answer, if you're not claiming points you just put it in persona history only, no need to explain anything
