Thanks rakeshtk, you have saved my life. I was planning to redo my IELTS to get these 2 points. Now I am confident that I am eligible to apply this year. I had asked this question in several forums, but not able to get any satisfactory responses from the forumities. Thanks so much and God bless you for taking time to solve my or maybe hundreds of others doubts that have same question.rakeshtk said:Dear,
This was a heated debate yesterday and many arguments happened between us.... Till few hours back I believed they allocate points on the basis only for one NOC because Mr. slowokan said he got gcms note where they given points only for one NOC.... Today I got enough time to go through the OP 6D manual.... Where it is clearly stating if you work in any other NOCs in Skill Type O, A and B they will allocate you points based on the criteria they given in the manual.... So in your case you will get points for all the years.... I dont know what happened in the case of Mr. slowokan... I think the reason why he didnt get the points is may be because his occupation may not be there in O, A or B skill levels....It would be better if slowokan can explain it...
To be eligible for points, the applicant's work experience must:
have occurred during the 10 years immediately preceding the date of application;
be in occupations listed in the National Occupational Classification (NOC) under Skill Type
0 or Skill Level A and B;
not be in an occupation that has been designated by the Minister as a restricted
occupation. At the time of printing, there were no occupations designated as restricted.
However, for the most up-to-date listing, officers should refer to the Department's website
at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/index.asp;
be full-time work, which, according to R80(7), is equivalent to at least 37.5 hours of paid
work per week. Full-time work experience requirement may be met by the equivalent in
part-time paid work experience, e.g. more than one part-time job held simultaneously or
one or more part-time jobs held over the equivalent of one year of full-time work.
Experience can be calculated by adding up the number of weeks of full-time work, i.e. 37.5
hours per week in one job or a total of at least 37.5 hours per week in more than one job,
in one or more of the NOC categories. Periods of work of less than 12 months during the
10 years immediately preceding the date of the application may be added together and
divided by 12 to calculate the number of years
Officers must:
consider only those occupations which the applicant has specified and for which the
applicant has provided the four-digit NOC code on their application form (R80(6));
So now, that is the reason why in the schedule 3 form under "Your Experience" they asking for all the NOC categories that we worked in the previous years.... Hope everybody is clear about it now....
PS:- digitalsphere - Hope you got corrected now..... Kindly dont underestimate anyone here after....
Thanks again. +1 for your post.
