Regarding Work Experience

[hemant.pandya]

Dear Friends,

According to CIC, one has to have 1 year continous Full Time Paid Experience... is it necessary to have the experience in same company for 1 year or is it ok if you have worked in two saperate companies without a break in the middle and your designation remains same in both the companies?

Please shed some light in to this..

Best Regards,

Hemant Pandya.

I suppose either way is fine.

accreddy is right.

One year full time --- spread in any number of companies does not matter.
Your designation also does not matter; rather your duties matter - is what many people say; as well as CIC in their website (however I have my own reservations.  designation reveals the position held and is given based on the job duties.  hence having 'manager' or 'officer' in your title 'helps'; thought it might not hurt the case if you donot have one).

Any ways, you are saying, the designation remains same.

So, you are all set!

Give a blast Hemant!

ok, hemant

1 year, as many number of companies

go ahead

there was an example of a candidate who had experience in two episodes and his application was rejected on this basis. dont remember his user name. he posted his case in may or june maybe. do a search if possible.

It is not mentioned whether two periods were continuous or not in the above case.

I am assuming if it is continuous then it should be fine.
