In 2015 I had 2.5 months office assistant job (NOC B) in summer before I came to Canada for study (I just graduated high school and I was 18), didn't declare it as it was insignificant. In 2016 I went back to my home country and worked as a lab tech for 2.5 months in summer (summer break from my Canadian school) and I didn't declare it in permit application. I have pay stubs, work experience letters stamped by employer, and a notarized copy in English of business license of the company in I was working for. Can provide email address and phone number from the employer as well! I now have another skilled job opportunity in my country and I wish to use the previous work exp to make up for 1 year of foreign work experience (I mean by working that new job for 7 months) to get CRS points in EE. Everything can be notarized by my hometown government to boost credibility of my work exp. As I have said I didn't declare them back then because they were short and insignificant while everything is logical( short term summer job after high school grad, summer job during summer break, the work exp is legit, I was young and dumb etc), should I be worried about adding them? What should I do in this case to avoid being charged for misinterpretation? Thank you so much!

To add those jobs to use as foreign experience, you should have 1 continuous work of full time or equal amounts in part time. After 1 year, then you start to add any other short work you did all together. I attached a link to cic

Hi, I have two continuous years of Canadian work experience. I am just scared that CIC might question why I didn’t include the short term foreign work before when I was applying for study permit and work permit. If this is not problem, I will go work in my country for another 7 months to make a full year of foreign work experience.
