Hey all,

When calculating my points for express entry I have a doubt about the work experience question (number 6).
The question is the following:

6) Work Experience

i. In the last ten years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada do you have?
It must have been paid and full-time (or an equal amount in part-time).

ii. In the last 10 years, how many total years of skilled work experience do you have?
It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B).

In part i. I can answer 1 year of work experience (I have 1 year and 2 months of work experience in Canada), but other than than I have no work experience outside of Canada. What should I answer to question ii.? 1 year again since it's my total years of work in the past 10 years or should I answer 0?

I have consulted an immigration consultant that told me to answer 0 to the second question, but another consultant suggested I answer 1 year.

Any suggestions? Thanks!
