Which experience to show for Express Entry?

[despairedh1b]

Hi All, I am almost ready to submit my EE and start the process (ECA & IELTS done).

In preparation of the documents to be submitted, I had a question which I am unable to find answer for in this forum.

If I have 6 years of work experience (3 years in India and later 3 years in USA), do I need to get work experience letter for both or can it be only for the latest?

Depends on your score under the six selection factors and whether you'd need to claim the 6 years to be eligible under the FSW program.

Sorry to open an old thread, but I have a CLB 9 and Master's degree (ECA evaluated) - Only reason I am asking is because the employer is in India and is being difficult to give an experience letter. The one in US (3+ years of experience) will be a breeze.

That being so, what DelPiero07 is trying to say is that you need assess what YOU need under the FSW grid to score the 67 points to be eligible as a Federal Skilled Worker. 3 years of work experience will get you 11 points while 6 years will give you 15 points.
So if you score 67 points or more with just 3 years of experience, good for you! If not, you will have to suffer interacting with your Indian employer.

Thank you DelPiero07 and skape7. This is helpful. I am scoring 70 points with just 3 yrs of experience. Does it matter how high the FSW score should be beyond the required 67? (Doesn't CRS award you just for 1 year, 2 year and 3+ years?). Thank you.

No, that's irrelevant.

I have worked as a junior engineer before getting a license to become full fledged engineer.
Duties in the senior colleague's reference letter are as per NOC but as trainee we normally assist seniors .
The NOC illustrative examples have this rank -junior engineer
Also,this training was done after graduation.

Questions-
Is it ok if the job duties are 70 percent similar but each duty has 'to assist' because as trainee we normally assist .
