Hello all,

I have been following this tread and it is very helpful and full of information.

I have a small query while creating a profile.

I have a work experience from July 2009 to May 2013. In this period I was on an unpaid leave for 5 months from Sept 2010 to Dec 2010. I was employed with company and had not resigned

Please advise how should I create my work experience history.

Version 1: Just 1 entry from July 2009 to May 2013 with reference letter mentioning unpaid leave?

Version 2: 2 entries with same company and same position. 1 entry from July 2009 to Sept 2010 and another entry from Dec 2010 to May 2013. If I create work exp tabs in this fashion, I would have to submit 2 reference letters for July 2009 to Sept 2010 period and for Dec 2010 to May 2013.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Can I ask which option you choose in the end as I am in the same situation? If you chose option 1, does you need to add explanation letter to explain that?

If you choose option 1 you'd be claiming work experience that you're not entitled to.

Thanks for your reply. This unpaid leave period will not affect my score. And if I split my employment period into two periods, I will need to add two experience letters while my company gives me only one letter and this unpaid leave is mentioned in the letter.
So what should I do in that case?

Few options:
1 - Use two entries and upload the same letter in both placeholders. Explain in a LOE that you did this so as not to claim a period of unpaid leave.
2 - Use a single entry. Explain in a LOE that you had an unpaid leave but that even without counting this period your CRS and eligibility remains unaffected.

I have another question please. I was putting it as one entry in my EE profile. Can I change it now to two entries after I have got ITA? OR it is better to use a single entry as I did in my EE profile.
