Hi! I have these questions relating the work experience requirement for FSW.
I got my ITA in May, where I got 460 points in CRS, thanks to an 8.5 IELTS, a "two or more certificates" ECA result and 3+ years foreign work experience.
A. As an illustrator I have had periods of freelancing with various clients, followed by periods of full time employment. Since the periods of freelancing would be all to cumbersome to certify, I am temporarily listing them in the personal history under the UNEMPLOYMENT category, with the description "various freelance work for short projects". Is this appropriate? do you have any better suggestions?
B. I'll list here my history summary and I would like to know from the experts of this site if this is appropriate for claiming 3 years of experience.
1. 6 months full time job in 2010 NOC 5241- two consecutive employers (no gap between them, I left the first job in the morning and was already at the other place by the afternoon)
2. 11 months of freelancing in 2011 NOC 5241
3. 13 months full time job in 2011-2012 NOC 5241
4. 16 months of freelancing in 2013-2014 NOC 5241
5. 24 months - 12hours/week job in 2014-2016 NOC 4021 (I was a teacher in college, while freelancing more in my free time. the hours are only for the college job)
6. 3 months full time job in 2016 NOC 5241
7. 3 months of freelancing in 2016 NOC 5241
8. 6 months full time job in 2017 NOC 5241
9. 16 months of freelancing in 2017-2018 NOC 5241
10. 10 months full time job from mid 2018 to date NOC 5241
Thank you in advance for all your valuable input
