Hi,

I have just a few hours ago submitted by express entry profile and met the eligibility under the FSW but not the Canadian Experience. This seems strange to me because I have been working on work permit for the past 20 months. I don't seem to be getting awarded any points for my Canadian work experience.....if anyone has any advice that would be appreciated.

When I originally submitted it, I noticed I'd accidently clicked self-employed but have since fixed this and resubmitted but still no recognition of Canadian work experiences. Not sure whether this might have affected it.

Cheers
 
IN your "work history" - For each "work experience" in Canada entry in your profile, there are 2 questions that appear at the bottom that for some reason, seem to mess up a lot of people.

Working legally in Canada during this time? You must answer YES (otherwise, if you answer NO, you're saying you were working illegally, and the experience isn't counted).

Studying fulltime while doing this job? You must answer NO, because work experience gained on a student work permit is not accepted.
 
Thanks, appreciate the feedback. I ended just withdrawing the application completely and resubmitting. This seemed to have sorted it out.

Thanks
