You put zero. This question is for foreign work experience although it is not explicitly stated. Good Luck!

Hi ,

I have similar questions. Can anyone please help me here?

I have worked in 3 different profiles and all fall under different skill type. Also, none of the profile has 3 years complete.

  • A. Test Engineer ------------ Dec 2010 to Apr 2013 ( 2 yr 4 months ) -------> 2173 Software Engineers and Designers, Skill type A
  • B. Social Worker ---------------------------- May 2013 to May 2015 ( 2 years ) -----------------------> 4152 Social workers, Skill Type A
  • C. Program Manager, Education ----- Jun 2015 to Jan 2018 ( 2 years ,7 months) ----------> 0423 Managers in social, community and correctional services, Skill Type 0
CIC official tool says ----- 'In the last 10 years, how many total years of skilled work experience do you have? It must have been paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation (NOC skill type 0, A or B)'.

My questions are ---
  1. How much skilled work experience will be counted for for CRS in EE profile ...is it A + B + C or A+B (as C is in skill type 0) ?
  2. If the answer to above question is A+B, then what should be my primary NOC ---- can it still be C (as that is my most recent experience and will help me search for jobs in Job Bank)?
Kindly reply
