Hi guys,

I have an experience of 14 months continuous under NOC Type A. First 8 months under one employer as University Assistant professor and 6 months under another employer as Postdoctoral Fellow. However, both experiences are fall under same NOC code.
Is this experience is accountable for Express entry immigration (Skilled worker)?
Please respond as early as possible.

Thanks
BK

from CIC web site: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp

Your work experience must be:

  • in the same type of job as your primary NOC
  • within the last 10 years
  • paid work (volunteer work, unpaid internships don’t count)
  • at skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2016 National Occupational Classification (NOC)
  • at least 1 year (1,560 hours total / 30 hours per week), continuous:
    • full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
    • equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
    • full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
You must show that you did the duties set out in the occupational description in the NOC. This includes most of the main duties listed.

If you can’t show that your work experience meets the description in the NOC, you aren’t eligible under this program.
