Hi Friends,
I am going to complete one Year Under Canadian Experience on 31 March 2015.
However, I was out of Canada for two weeks in last month. Will that two weeks period get deducted from my Canada Experience days ? If yes - how many days will get further added to complete 1 Year ?


Thanks in advance for your reply .

Kuswara.

If it was paid vacation time, and you can support it with paystubs and reference letter, that states the benefits, then you are perfectly fine!

Yes, it was full paid vacation. So I am at safer side now. Thank you !

However, I am curious to know that:
how it would get counted if in case it were not paid vacation / Or / Are there any minimum no. of days which are not counted under CEC experience if you are out of Canada above those periods ?

Unpaid vacation doesn't count towards CEC, no matter you are inside or outside Canada.

For example you have 1 week off work unpaid, you will have to work extra 1 week after the 1 year anniversary of your job to compensate for it.
