Hey guys, I have been a big lurker of this forum since 2016 when I firstly had a goal to come to Canada. It is now time to do it. I am European Citizen (not eligible under IEC), however I recently obtained British Citizenship and applied for IEC (2 years). I got invited to apply today. I have 1 year of skilled work experience in the UK & I just started another skilled job in London.
Question 1:
• Is it better to come to Canada with 1 year work experience abroad, find a a skilled job and apply through the CEC or wait another 2 years and have 2 years of work experience abroad and then apply for CEC.
I got all the documents ready - ECA, Police Certificates, Proof of Funds, Work Experience letters, except IELTS. I have it, but it has a low WRITING SCORE so I have to take it again.
Question 2:
• If I apply through CEC with 1 year work experience in 1 NOC in Canada, 1 year work experience in another abroad, and 1 year work experience in third NOC, would I still get the same points as if the 2 years experience abroad are in the same NOC?
It's very confusing. I will be slowing down the process for my IEC, because I want to get 1 year of work experience in my current employer even though all of my documents are ready to apply.
