Foreign work experience no point - help needed

[clivbc]

Hello, I recently submitted my EE profile and score was very difference than I expected..
The foreign work experience has 0 point where the CRS calculator gave me 26 points. I have been working in Canada for exact 1 year now and all other points match the CRS calculator.

Can someone help? thanks in advance.

Everything matches the score from CRS tool except the foreign work experience.. I have worked in Canada for 1 year under NOC A (2131). Can't figure out the problem.

If you worked in Canada and that's your only w.exp it's showing under Canadian work experience, which is correct. Can you detail what's your background in terms of education, profession, nationality and under what program are you applying? Also remember to be eligible for foreign wexp one of the other criterias is CLB 7 in all four sections.

Looks like you already got that point from Canada work experience and for foreign it needs to be outside of canada to claim any

My education was in Canada, 5 yrs of applied science, my profession is engineering related, what do you mean by program I'm applying?

From what I read, canadian work experience still contributes some points to foreign work experience

Not on it's own. You get those extra points if you have Canadian+foreign wexp. Here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/criteria-comprehensive-ranking-system/grid.html#pointsC

Scroll down to skill transferability factors and see the combinations, education, language and experience. Hope this helps.

So in my case, since I only get 1 yr canadian work experience with no foreign wexp, I dont get those extra points, is that correct?

That's correct.

That's correct.

That has cleared my confusion. Thank you very much for your help!

I have 10 years of work experience in Nigerian bank, and my noc code is 6235. How will I answer these similar questions. "In the last ten years, how many years of skilled work experience in Canada do you have?" And " in the last ten years, how many total years of foreign skilled work experience do you have?"

My question is that I claimed points for work experience in my EE as follows:
Company A: Aug 2013 to Nov 2014
Company B: Dec 2014 to Aug 2016
Company C: Oct 2017 to Aug 2018
Current Company: Sept 2018 to Present
Now Post ITA, I am having trouble getting refernece letter for current work experience.
If I move my current work experience to 'personal history', my CRS as per preview score is the same.
So my question is that with 3 years 10 months of experience from first 3 companies, I would have the same CRS score?

Yes. 3+ years of foreign work ex. will give you max CRS points.
