Hi looking for some help.
I have been in canada for 7 years 5 of which I was working in clergy with a visitors record that says on the bottom work permit excempt as per R186(L). From those years I have a t4. Can I use this as work experience for points on my pr application?
Thank you for any help given

Why were you exempted?

Canadian skilled work experience
You must

  • have at least 1 year of skilled work experience in Canada (or an equal amount of part-time work experience) in the 3 years before you apply
  • have gained your work experience by working in Canada while authorized to work under temporary resident status
  • show that you performed:
    • the actions in the lead statement of the occupational description in the National Occupational Classification (NOC)
    • most of the main duties listed
Skilled work experience means that you’ve worked in 1 or more of these NOC training, education, experience and responsibilities (TEER) categories

  • TEER 0
  • TEER 1
  • TEER 2
  • TEER 3
Your skilled work experience must be paid work, including paid wages or earned commission. We don’t count volunteer work or unpaid internships.

You’re not eligible for the Canadian Experience Class if

  • you’re a refugee claimant in Canada
  • you’re working without authorization
  • your work experience was gained without temporary resident status in Canada

To follow up I was exempt from a visa with R186(L). I did receive a small payment for my work (WIth a T4). Is there a minimum payment that needs to be received for it to count as work experience?
