A refugee claimant, while awaiting for an IRB hearing in respect of his
refugee claim, was working for 2,5 years in Canada in an occupation defined
as NOC “A” skill level category. During this time the claimant hold a
valid work permit, so his work experience was acquired working legally.
Before final determination in respect of his claim was made, he withdrew his
claim and left Canada on his own.
Within one year after he left Canada, he decided to apply to come back to
Canada as a Federal skilled worker on point basis using the same 2,5 years
experience which he earned while he was a refugee claimant. As well, he
heard that he is qualifying as a Canadian Experience Class applicant –
worker stream, for working in Canada for 2 years in a high skill
occupation.
Will the visa office recognize his work experience he collected
while he was a refugee claimant for his Federal skilled worker class
and/or Canadian Experience class?
Thanking you in advance for all your help.
