Hi everyone,

I have a hard time wrapping my head around how IRCC really calculates foreign work experience under EE. I'd appreciate your help!

Looking at "Terms definitions" at canada ca I can conclude that it's the number of full-time weeks that I've worked across all the jobs I want to claim points for. Given there are 52 weeks in a year I can sum up all my weeks, divide them by 52 and see what bracket I end up in (in my case 159 total weeks/52 > 3 --> I can claim 3+ years)

On the other hand, in my EE profile, I'm given an option to enter only months which negates the previous calculations (I can either claim only full months and lose some weeks or claim non-complete months and effectively claim more weeks than I actually have)

I'm confused here and would be grateful for any assistance!

Thanks.
