Hi everyone
I am planning on submitting an Expression of Interest soon and have a few questions before submitting. I have been in the USA for a while now, got bachelors and Master's degree from here and have some experience as well. The thing is, the experience that I have as a full time employee after graduation from my master's last year is only 9 continuous months (Oct-16-Jul-17). Before that I had a paid internship (not part of my degree as it was voluntary) in the same company and for the same NOC code. This internship lasted 3 months (May-16 - Aug-16) I interviewed for the full time position at the end of the internship and it took them 2 months to finally give me the official offer. My question is: Since there is a gap between internship and full time, does this make me ineligible for FSW express entry in Canada? I have read the CIC website and other sites but Im still confused.
here is a timeline:
May-16 finish degree courses and requirements
May-16 start internship at company
August-16 finish internship at company and officially receive Master degree diploma
October-16 start of full time job at same company under same NOC profession
July-17 stopped working
I would greatly appreciate your advise and experiences. Thanks!!
