Foreign Exp, Didn't show in study permit Can I use that in EE?

Hello Everyone,
I recently finished my 1 year of teer 1 exp in canada. Will create EE profile. I just have 6 more months of work permit left on my side. I wanted to ask if I can add my indian foreign experience in my EE profile. I didn't include it during my study permit, study permit extension, work permit application. I didn't know that indian exp would help me for PR or get counted. Also during my study permit my agent didn't mention as well.
I am really confused and know it's risky due to misrepresentation but want to know if it's worth the risk to try otherwise I won't be able to get PR due to CRS points being low without indian exp.
The experience is genuine with all documents tax slips, reference, exp letter.
Also the work experience was only 5 months while applying for Study permit. I resigned just 1 month before coming to canada. Doesn't study permit require atleast 6 months of work to be declared as an experience ?
Please for those who got their PR with the similar situation atleast reply so that we can also decide. Also people who got PFL or rejection please share your situation as well.
If possible I want to know how many people are getting PR vs how many are rejected.
With the recent trend i have seen they will surely ask you for explanation about this and even would charge you with mis-interpretating your file which would likely lead to
1. Additional documents requirements from them
2 they directly rejecting your application.
You can file for an appeal then and consult a lawyer.
I just saw someone's file get rejected yesterday even though they submitted Tax returns, paystubs and even offer letter. You better have at least employment letter, bank statements, and your firm must be available while googling, T4, paystubs.
Hi, Please can you help me? I have received ITA yesterday and i am claiming points for my foreign work experience which i did not showed in work history section while applying for study and work permit. Shall i accept ITA? The work experience is genuine and i have employer/owner support in terms of providing all documents from pay slips, letter of employment, and also salary was paid in cash (so explanation of that is also will be included as it did less than eligible tax slab). My FWE is is admini assitant and Canadian work exp is also admin/HR assistant.
PLEASE HELP.

To accept or not is your own decision. The advice stays the same. IRCC can look at it as misrep or maybe they'll not do so - upto the officer and should be based on how you justify. If you purposefully hid it, that's misrep and upto IRCC on how they view this.
Also, about your cash salary + tax slab + no pattern of deposits in bank every month - you would be in a weaker position. Even for jobs that don't have tax slabs (I'll give you an example of India), they have something like ESIC which can be used to show that you were enrolled on a payroll. Also, it is about entirety of the evidence of having a job as well. For example, job offer acceptance email, resignation email, etc all are a part of this evidence.
Best of luck in your application, take all the help you can (talk to Immigration lawyers).
Is it advisable to decline ITA and then remove FWE and then wait for ITA without FWE. I will submit my new ITA (if i get one) with FWE in personal history? I talked with IRCC customer service agent over call who said even if i do that there is still a chance if of officers asking why i did not show in my study and work permit. IRCC over call said it's upto officer but if i provide all documents and be truthful that you were not aware to provide this FWE in your study and work permit and now you are being truthful. IRCC person over call said as long as you provide all truthful documents and give all information there is no misrepresentation. my only fear is since I am claiming points for this FWE misrepresentation as i did not show in study and work permit. but if i decline ITA and then do not claim points for FWE but show it in personal history i think it will not impact much! Please share your thoughts. Currently I am on implied status as i applied for visitor's record as my last visitor record expired on jan 23, 2025. my work permit expired on jan 23, 2024. And yes I am taking lawyer hep but also wanted to know your opinion as i see you are a VIP member here and more experienced.
Tbh, trust an immigration lawyer over any of us here. We aren't regulated, nor we studied anything formally - hence, lawyer's advice >>>> a forum's advice.
If you reject this ITA and you never claim this FWE, you might never get another ITA again. Law of competition tells us that CRS will only inflate over the years.
If you accept this ITA and are caught with misrep, your application can be rejected, you can also get banned.
So, do what your lawyer says. If your lawyer feels confident that you can go through this, follow their advice!
Honestly I asked different lawyers and all of them sound different. Some say don't accept ITA as its risky even if you have docu. since IRCC is strict now and some lawyer are saying yes IRCC is giving PFL but risk can still be taken.
Thank you for you help. I really appreciate it.
Same happened with me as well. Multiple Immigration Lawyers gave mixed response. Confused as to what shall be done. I also have similar case but just my salary was a bank transfer instead and irregular.
I do have all documents though be it tax return from gov to justify I have legit work ex.
Don't know what to do
Hi guys I did not mention my foreign experience in my study permit, but included it in my WP and TRV and also in Express Entry profile, After getting ITA with points of foreign experience my lawyer asked me not to take any risk and asked me not to claim points for it since my CRS score is well above cut off even after removing it. However I have included my experience in personal history and provided certificate as well. But my file is stuck under security screening since August 2024, will that be because of this? I am undergoing through a lot of stress right now as most of my friends who applied with me got their PR Card ( May AOR) . Appreciate any input. Thanks
The delay could be due to several reasons including your work experience.
Your country of citizenship, places you have worked, places you have visited, your associations, there's so much to security. IRCC also involves CSIS to assess if an applicant is a threat to national security.
Work experience fraud is not necessarily a security issue though and would normally lead to a PFL followed by a rejection with ban.
