Query for Total number of years (count) Canadian Work Experience

[mashfaqk]

Hi experts,

Can anybody guide me about the total number of years of work experience I should mention in the express entry profile.

Currently the total work experience in Canada that I have is mentioned below.

01/October/2012 to 21/August/2015 for 40hrs / week [ but didn't work from 21/March/2014 to 23/June/2014 (3 months)]
2 years 8 months ( (+/-) 4920 hours worked time just around that much)

My confusion is, can I mentioned 3 years of work experience in terms of worked hours from below formula mentioned at CIC link below.
cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-who.asp

Full Time
30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

3 years work will have number of hours worked 1560 * 3 = 4680 hours

Can somebody give their expert opinion as this guidance will give me 11 extra points (experience) in terms of CRS score.

currently my CRS score is 481 falling behind 1 point for almost 4months

Thanks.

No - you can't mention three years of work experience. It's only two years.

Any week where you work 30 hours or more is only counted as one week. You need 52 weeks of work to count one year experience.

Thanks Scylla for clarifying this to me. One more question regarding the type of NOC jobs to add in EE Profile.

I have worked under NOC 2171 (2 years 8 months) , can I add another type of NOC as well as my experience e.g.
I have worked also under NOC 2282 (part time 1 year 1 month (aproxi. 12 hrs/week) = 4 months Full Time (+/- 500hrs /30hr = 16.6 weeks of work) ) when I was Full time student of Masters.

Thanks.

If your simultaneous work/study was in Canada, you cannot claim points for the work experience.

If it was outside of Canada, you can claim the work experience, even if it's in a different NOC (as long as it is skill level A, B, or O).
