Real Estate Sales person Experience

[Zeeks]

Hi,

Does Real Estate Sales Person with NOC - 6232 counts as legitimate experience and do i have tp be registered with any brokerage firm i.e. Remax do be counted and what kind fo documentations will be required. I have a post graduate work permit and in case i have applied for CEC but my work permit expires what exactly would i have to do.

Thanks in Advance.

Cheers.

I think you have to first determine whether you are an employee or independent contractor. Independent contractors are not eligible under the CEC stream.

I am planning to get my Real estate License and get hired by any Brokerage firm like remax.. I get your point so i will be there employee technically even if i would be on commission. But would real Estate qualify as under Skill Level B.

Cheers

NOC 6232 is skill level B. "Technically an employee" could mean different things. These links should help you figure it out:

From the links above, if you answer yes to all or most of the below(not an exhaustive list), then an employer/employee relationship is established:

1. Are you paid by the hour, week or month?
2. Do you have specified hours of work? That is, you don't get to chose your own time of work? e.g. you are expected to be at work between 9 and 5pm, Mon - Fri
3. If you incur expenses for travel related to work, does the agency pay for it?
4. Does the agency contribute to employee benefit plans on your behalf?
5. Do they deduct income taxes, CPP, EI, etc?
