Working experience + funding proof questions

[john_henry]

Hello everybody,

I plan to apply for PR - skilled worker - at Buffalo, New York very soon. I worked in a company for 14 months continuously. After that, I was back to school for my Master program for 2 years then I worked for the same company with the same jobs for 10 months. My question is: Could my working experience be counted at 24 months in total? On the CIC website, they just say that the minimum required working experience is 12 months continuous. They dont mention if the total time and the working experience must be continuous or not.

On the funding proof, CIC minimum fund is at 13,198 for a family of 2 (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/funds.asp -->new number). Is there any time restriction on the bank statement? How long should I get my bank statement before submission? And do you have any idea that after the submission, will CIC require my bank statement again, let say 6 months and how many times they will require the bank statement until I get PR card?

Thank you guys very much! Best wishes to all of you.

The work experience is total. On the bank statement, I assumed it is the one you have closest to the date you apply. I went through the Quebec process, so I was only asked for a bank statement once (before landing) and brought a letter from my bank upon landing, but reading other posts, it seems that they can ask you proof a second time in the federal process. Hope that helps until you get a better answer from someone who has been through the federal process.
