Hello all,

I never knew that RA can be counted as working experience under FSW. Hence, I never mentioned before while applying canadian work permit. I claimed points for RA in express entry. However, I submitted reference letter from my department head and supervisor.

Recent posts in this forum discussed about the work experience, which was not included in work or study permit application may consider as misrepresentation by the CIC officer.

Since my study is real and supported by ECA, my RA experience is not fake. I am confused and worried. In my case, will my RA counted as misrepresentation?

Hi Karthik,

I am also in the same boat. I didn't mentioned about one of my work experience while applying study permit but now I came to know that I can use that experience to claim points. Can you please share your experience with me.

Was that experience a big factor in your overall score ?
