Hey everyone,
I’d really appreciate some advice and guidance on my situation.
I have several years of experience in social services, both before and after coming to Canada. Before I moved here in January 2023, I worked for about 6 years as a community outreach/program coordinator.
After arriving in Canada, it took me a few months to get my first job (April 2023). Since then, I’ve had a mix of roles some short-term and some longer-term mostly within the same field:
My concerns are:
How did you structure your work history for Express Entry/PNP?
And how do I decide which roles to include or prioritize?
Any advice would really mean a lot. Thanks in advance

I have several years of experience in social services, both before and after coming to Canada. Before I moved here in January 2023, I worked for about 6 years as a community outreach/program coordinator.
After arriving in Canada, it took me a few months to get my first job (April 2023). Since then, I’ve had a mix of roles some short-term and some longer-term mostly within the same field:
- My first job was in personal care, but I left after about 3 weeks because it wasn’t the right fit. (Community Support Sercive) April 2023
- I then worked another similar role for about 2 months.April -June 2023
- After that, I got a housing support worker role at a shelter, where I worked for about 8 months I worked as a Casual for 2month. So I landed a full time position (April until December 2023).
- Around July 2023, I also started working as a child and youth worker (casual/part-time), which I’ve continued with over time and still have the job up til date.
- In November 2023, I got a full-time outreach worker position and stayed there until September 2025.
- Due to changes in student work hour limits in 2024, I reduced my hours temporarily but continued working in my outreach position for 24hours until December that I completed my study and applied for PGWP.
- After finishing my studies in December, I resumed full-time work.
- I briefly worked as a housing and shelter manager, but my contract ended after 2 months due to workplace issues.
- I then completed a 4-month temporary housing role.
- Throughout all this, I’ve consistently maintained my child and youth worker role (casual), which has been my most stable position and keep working average of 30-40 hours weekly.
- I’ve also recently secured another child and youth worker role, which I’ll be starting soon.
My concerns are:
- I’ve had multiple roles, some overlapping and some short-term
- I don’t want to raise any red flags with IRCC
- I want to present everything accurately but also clearly and strategically
How did you structure your work history for Express Entry/PNP?
And how do I decide which roles to include or prioritize?
