Hello,

I got an ITA to apply for PR through FSW meeting both CEC and FSW classes. I don't have foreign work experience but I have Canadian work experience at one company for 6 months with post graduate work permit first. Then I had another 11 months of work experience with LMO at the same company on the day I created my EE profile. I had a couple of months of break inbetween these two periods. I still work at the same company.

My dates of employment is 1 May 2013 - 24 January 2014 and 22 September 2014 - 6 September 2015(date I created my profile).

I know that one year of full time Canadian work experience doesn't have to be continuous and I got points for that. But it is also stated 1 year of full time continuous work experience is required for FSW. Is my non-continuous Canadian work experience sufficient for FSW?

Thank you!
 
You might have qualified by getting more than 67/100 on the FSW grid even without getting any points for foreign work experience.
 
Thank you Asivad.

Yes, I calculated it before and I pass 67 points for FSW. But I am not sure whether I should proceed with this ITA or not to apply through FSW.

I wonder if they require continuous full time one year requirement for foreign experience but non-continuous Canadian work experience is fine for FSW? So confused.

That could be a problem. Recommend that you don't decline this ITA but submit an LOE clearly highlighting this problem as well as requesting them to consider your application under CEC instead if this is a problem. That is a valid request and I imagine it will be granted.
