Can you elaborate this please? Do you mean CRS will be calculated with cumulative work experience even if it is under 2 different NOCs? Like for me NOC4012 is 2.5y and 4011 is 1yr (Will this be in the category of 3 years or above?)No. CRS counts your cumulative work experience in the past 10 years. One-year continuous experience is for qualification not crs points.
Yes, as long as they are all skilled work experience. Once you are qualified, your CRS determines your rank. Search for CRS calculator and you can see how different experience affects your score.Can you elaborate this please?

What is your TA/RA experience? Where, when, under what visa, and are you getting paid and can you provide proof?Hello, don't know if this has been answered already or not. Pardon me if it has been. I have 1560+ hours work experience working as TA/RA continuously for 32 months. I get that this will make me eligible to apply as a FSW. But when it comes to the minimum CRS points needed to be invited for applying to the EE program, I am a bit short. My CRS is 461 when I specify no Canadian experience and no foreign experience. But if I specify 1 year foreign experience, I get 25 more points making the total score 486. 461 is not enough, but 486 is. So I was wondering if I can show my TA/RA experience as 1 year foreign work experience to get the extra 25 points when calculating my CRS. Could someone please clarify?
I am currently in Canada under study permit about to finish my MSc degree from a Canadian university. My TA/RA experience will be 1664 hours by the time I graduate. Yes I am getting paid and can prove if needed.What is your TA/RA experience? Where, when, under what visa, and are you getting paid and can you provide proof?
So your TA/RA is in Canada under a study permit? Then no you cannot claim CRS points.I am currently in Canada under study permit about to finish my MSc degree from a Canadian university. My TA/RA experience will be 1664 hours by the time I graduate. Yes I am getting paid and can prove if needed.
That's disappointing. It's weird that this work experience is not counted for CRS points (as foreign work experience) while it was counted when judging FSW eligibility. Anyway, thanks for the info man.So your TA/RA is in Canada under a study permit? Then no you cannot claim CRS points.

My guess is that they don't want to double count. Since you get extra points for Canadian education already, giving points for work under study permit will give some people too much advantage/make student employment unnecessarily complicated.That's disappointing.

Fair enough. Guess I will have to get a job and wait 1 year before applying. Don't think the minimum points will go down to 460 anytime soon.My guess is that they don't want to double count.

Same situation. I have T4A with box 105 Scholarship, so that no tax to pay. The PhD research is my entire ' working experience'. Do your PR application get approved througth FSW?Dear saha_pritam,
Thanks for sharing your story!
I would like to clarify the following: imagine I start a research-based PhD on a study permit. I receive a monthly stipend of x$ for performing all the duties listed under NOC 4012. I do not have a job offer, however, do not pay taxes, and I am not listed as an employee.
Do I qualify for the program?
