Work experience

[New2Canada]

I have about 8 years of work experience. Should I mention all these on my form or just the jobs that will get me maximum work experience points (including ministerial list). I am a FSW applicant. Will CIC think that I am hiding something if I don't mention more than 4 years of work experience?

 

[BobbyB]

No, you will not be doing yourself any favour.
However, the question is, are the 8 Years of experience you have on the NOC 2006.
If yes. List them and write them in. Don't forget in the Past 10 years......
Again, you want to claim 21 points, don't u?

This is my situation, in the past 10 years, i worked for 7 and a half years of my noc and the remaining 2 and a half years(recently) was used in studying(not full time) and worked for some months each year that can be be verified but wages were paid in cash. Can the work experience be counted? should i mention it when i am asked for an update? I have also been informed by others like us(wishing to immigrate ) that if i do not put something tangible in the 2 and a half year space, i may be termed someone not able to move forward.

what do u think

 

[BobbyB]

Why not?. You Guy's really need to start reading what's on the CIC website, as if u are getting ready for an EXAM.

Please do clarify, will I get 21 points if I've got 2 years experience in NOC that is in the list & 11 years of the experience in NOC that is not in the list?

Yes, as long as they are under Skill Type 0 or Skill Level A and B:

[BobbyB]

So what was the latest update on this?

I don't know of any update. It has always been the same:

Number of Less than 1 At least 1 At least 2 At least 3 4 or more
years

Points 0 15 17 19 21

 

[CV User]

I am talking about the professions that are accepted and the ones that are no longer accepted in NOC.

 

[BobbyB]

To be eligible for consideration for FSW1- "Ministerial List-Magic38 list" with @ 1 year of Experience in the last 10 years.
To get more points for experience: SKILL O, A, B on NOC2006 in the Last 10years.

Is that your question?

 

[New2Canada]

I am still reading on this so maybe someone can confirm.

Skill type 0 is any NOC code that starts with 0.
Skill type A is any NOC where the second digit of the code is 1.
Skill type B is any NOC where the second digit of the code is 2.
