Work experience question

[bastiaandg]

First off, I apologize if this question has been asked already and my search of this forum was not thorough enough.

Anyway, I am a bit unsure about the work experience requirements listed on the CIC site and am hoping some of you are able to clarify for me.

My situation is as follows:
I was employed at an IT company (let's call them Company A) for just over 2 years and during that time I was seconded to Company B. After the 2 years, I made a switch to Company B and have been working there now for about 10 months. Combined it has been more than 3 years since I started my job at Company A. I want to claim work experience for both companies, so 3 years total.

I have 2 questions about this situation:
- Can I claim the work experience for Company B, even though technically I have not worked there for a full year yet (since the other 2 years I was only seconded there)?
- When I made the switch, I decided to end my contract with Company A 3 days before the start date of my contract with Company B, so I wouldn't have to use vacation days for a few personal errands. Will this be a problem? The CIC site talks about continuous work experience and technically I was unemployed for 3 days, although I had already signed the new contract.

Thanks in advance!

1 - Yes.
2 - You only need one year of continuous full-time experience to be eligible under the FSW, after completing such requirement you can add all other work experience even if there are gaps for CRS points.

Ah, thanks for the info. You've put my mind at ease.
I'll start collecting the letters then
