Foreign Work Experience Case

Hello everyone,

Can someone please advise if this foreign work experience should count towards points in the express entry or not? I have worked from September 2021 to November 2021, 48 hours per week for a company in another country as an administrative assistant, while I was residing in Canada and looking for a job here. Once I got a full time permanent job in Canada, the foreign company transitioned my work into part time 20 hours per week from November 2021 to December 2022 as administrative assistant. I was working full time for a Canadian company and part time remotely for the foreign company. The hours worked are over 1560 hours. Does this count as 1 year of foreign work experience? If so, how come the system did not update to grant me more points? Thank you!

So you cannot ”double dip” and claim Canadian and foreign experience at the same time. So from November 2021 to December 2022, you decide whether you claim only Canadian or foreign experience. So you don’t have a year of foreign experience if claiming Canadian experience at the same time.
