Training as experience.

[Seeker16]

Hi there,

While working in position that I mentioned in EE profile, I had been send for training to another country, for 8 month. In EE profile I mentioned it as 1 year experience but it is actually 4 month I hold that position rest has been spent for training to higher degree.

It is not my primary NOC (which is good) and I don't know how I forgot to consider training as an issue. now it is too late to change something I got ITA yesterday.

1. Won't it be contradiction?
2. Can I write training as experience, cause in company I still hold that initial position for period that I've been in trainig

If this training wasn't paid and/or it's not skilled work experience then you shouldn't be claiming points for it.

It was paid, I still had my salary and additional payment for training, but it was not actually particular job, I had classes, tests, and practice for another position

Then it comes down to whether this is skilled experience or not.

by skilled experience" do you mean relation between initial job and trainig?
if so then yes it did related to what I did.

thanks by the way for helping. I just started with Post ITA, have no idea to do and where to start from.

No, by skilled experience I mean NOC 0/A/B.

ohhhh gosh...ok... would not it be considered as cheating?? I actually do not worry much about this particular job, as I mentioned total 6 years experience, this one does not as a primary one, the rest 5 years are. It should not have an impact on CRS score should it?

If that's the case then I would just remove that work altogether and simply add it in the personal history section.

The max you can claim for foreign work experience is 3 years and for Canada 5 if i'm not mistaken.

Will it be ok after getting ITA?

I thought any changes you make after ITA is suspicious

 

[DelPiero07]

You can write a LOE if you feel like it.

Changes are fine post-ITA as long as they don't affect score or eligibility.

Thank you Del Piero. It has no affect neither on CRS score nor on eligibility
