How much gap is ok between jobs for Continuous Work Experience for FSW Express Entry?

[Rubsi]

It depends on situation. If this experience is not making any affect on your CRS score, why to take risk.

Otherwise also, I would suggest to show it from Mar’18 only.

Good day all. I started working March 2018 but my appointment letter is dated 8th January, 2018. My payslips also state March 19th as the date of appointment rather than January because that was when I started getting paid. Which one of the dates should I use when filling my Express entry form since I'm not submitting a reference letter for this job?

2. Should I enter the pool in January or March to avoid being banned for misrepresentation?

Since the day when u started working

Can you help me please.
I have 1 years experience from September 2013-2014. Then I have 2 years gap I stayed at home with my newborn child from 2014-2016. Then I worked again from August 2016-August 2018. Does this count up as 3 years in total or as 2 years continuous work experience? All of the experience was in full time, 8 hours a day.

1 year continuous experience is required to make u qualified for FSW provided u worked 30 hrs/week over the span of 52 weeks which u got from sept. 2013 to sept. 2014.
Then for EE u need 2 years of experience To max out for crs which u have from August 2016 to August 2018 in addition of your prior 1 year experience.

So u will max out for experience in EE profile and ur gap won’t be an issue

Nobody can answer that question, it would depend on the VO whether they consider the break in continuity substantial enough to make you ineligible. We've seen people with gaps of 2 or 3 weeks get through but again, there's no guarantees.

Thank you for your quick response !!

Here is my Work Experience Summary:
Job 1 --> June 2014 - June 2015 (India)
Job 2 --> May 1, 2017 - Feb 28, 2018 (US)
Job 3 --> March 19, 2018 - Till Date (US)

Can you please let me know your suggestions on which would be better approach for showing 1 year of continuous work experience : Scenario 1 or 2

Scenario 1:
Use Job 1 as continuous work experience and show job 2, 3 as additional experience.

Scenario 2:
Use combination of Job 2, 3 to show continuous experience and show job 1 as additional experience.
NOTE: Has Gap of 18 days (unemployed) in between jobs

If Scenario 1:
The experience letter for this job does not have the roles and responsibilities as required by CIC. Should i get a letter from my manager (whom i was reporting to) stating roles and responsibilities and get it notarized and attach it along with the Experience Letter (which has the Designation, Period, Pay etc).

If Scenario 2:
Can you please let me know your suggestions on how to justify the gap of unemployment while moving from Company A to Company B. Should i show that under personal history as unemployed !! Should i tell about the gap in Letter of Explanation !

Also, when filling Express Entry Profile - it is asking -->
In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience do you have? It must have been continuous, paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation.
What should my response for this be -
1 year (since 2014 - 2015 was only continuous)
or
2 year 5 months (including all my experience) ?

Your Response would help me a lot... Thanks in Advance

Hi RGRT,

Just wanted to check if you entered 18 days as unemployed in the personal history ?

I have 11 days gap between my 2nd and 3rd job, could you please let me know what you did in your case ?

Your response would be really helpful.

Thank you

 

[RGRT]

In my case, I did not claim points for work experience of job 2 and job 3.
Job 1 was for 1 year without any gap - which will serve the minimum eligibility requirement for express entry.

So i declared these 18 days as unemployed in person history.

Hi Team,

I was working with a software company from 5th Feb 2018 and will be completing 1 year in 5th Feb 2019. But had a break in employment on August 15 to 31 for 2 week as I got released from the project and was put on a LOP for 2 weeks till I got a new project. After that I got a new project and started getting salary from September onward from the same company. I don't have a salary slip in the mentioned time period since my salary was not processed for the August second pay

The question is whether this will affect my PR Application by considering this 2 weeks as break in employment?

Should I wait till mid of February 2019 to submit the profile so that I can include the payslip for Feb as well in order to compensate for the payslip?

Gap from Feb 2015 - Feb 2018 (3 years) (In these 3 years, I have tried to setup my business. However I failed miserably. And I dont earned single penny, so I dont have any transaction to show)

Third job (Full time) : March 2018- Present (15+ months) ( Job title: Business Executive (Medical representative in Pharmaceutical company), (Although it is Pharmaceutical company, the job role (Sales) is different from my two previous jobs)

2) Does the GAP affects CRS score?
3) My current job have different roles and responsibility and just have 1 year of experience, Would they consider recent experience?
