[Need help] Regarding foreign work experience CEC.

[nad_16]

Hello everyone, I am confused about how much foreign work experience you have while applying under the CEC category. I do have one year of Canadian work experience but back home I work for 11 months for one company and 2 months for another company but there is a big break between both jobs, Can I still claim points for foreign work experience as there is a break?
Someone told me if you are applying for FSW then it should be continuous, but is this the same requirement for CEC?
Thanks

To count your first year of foreign experience, you need at least one year, of continuous skilled experience in one NOC. If you have a break then you cannot count your foreign experience.

Do you have 1yr of work experience in Canada? That's the requirement for CEC not your previous work back home.

To count your first year of foreign experience, you need at least one year, of continuous skilled experience in one NOC. If you have a break then you cannot count your foreign experience.

That one full year is for eligibility for EE, which the OP already has because he stated it is CEC.
His questions is about foreign exp, about claiming points only.
Based on what I know, there is no rules that invalidate OP's exp in this case.

But to count any foreign experience, you need at least one year of continuous skilled work experience in one NOC.

I’m currently on open WP currently working for an employer( Company A) in Canada in NOC B job and opened up my profile. Since I didn’t meet the CRS score, I got an LMIA from a different employer ( Company B). Can I use this LMIA to claim 50 points, while working for company A on PGWP? I don’t have plans to leave my current job and start working for the employer who gave an LMIA for me.

This is not what I have learned.

For example, this Youtube video,

, says that as long as you meet the eligibility requirement, which the OP does because he already said "I do have one year of Canadian work experience", all the other work exp can simply be combined without any further requirements.

But, of course, no guarantee that that video is 100% correct.

The requirement you quoted, "you need at least one year of continuous skilled work experience in one NOC", that is for FSW applicants to meet the minimum eligibility requirement, which doesn't apply to the OP, because he is a CEC applicant

Yeah, I also saw this video that's why I ask on this forum, got confused a bit.
