Primary Occupation

[lino82]

Urgent....
Can anyone confirm if the work experience (primary occupation) need to be within 5 years at the time of application...?
CIC Website says within last 10 years,which I have ...if it has to be within 5 years,I may have to drop my plans...
I have 448 points and waiting for ECA to file...

cross-checked CIC website and,
'primary occupation is one which you have done within last five years,on which the application to immigrate will be based on'
further one needs to have a minimum of 1 year continuous,full-time ,paid job in last 10years in that chosen NOC code to be eligible for immigration under FSW ...
however it can safely be implied that one need to have worked as recently as five years in the chosen occupation however the one year minimum experience criteria can be met from the preceding five years as well...
