Hello everyone,


I am just starting my application Express Entry application. I have filled everything but I am having trouble with the work experience part and decided to come here and ask for advice.

I have had about 14 months of work experience, working as an engineer in the car industry. However, here is the issue. Although I have been working for the same company (an OEM), I was sent as a training sort of deal to work for 6 months in a partner company (abroad). After the 6 months, I returned to the original company before leaving for a PhD. My concern here is whether this would still count as the same job and cumulate to 12 months+ of work experience? [I was technically still in contract with the original company this whole time]

How should I tackle it, do I simply need to clarify that in my Employer Reference Letter?


Any help or advice would be highly appreciated!

Thank you.

Oh, didn't notice the reply.

I was receiving a salary from the original company (dividends) but was also receiving a smaller compensation from the foreign partner company to pay for my accommodation and food etc... (paid in euros).
