Application question

[Nooooj]

Hey guys!

Im new here, I've read a lot of posts here, and a part of it has been answered in different threads.
But I wanted to ask about my particular situation because Immigration companies here said my profile will not qualify.
After School I did a 6 months diploma in music performance, worked for 4 years full time(dont remember NOC numbers) and currently doing bachelors(distance education) in Tourism Administration completing this year.... 2 years work experience is before bachelors, 2 years during.
Will my work experience count for express entry?
Thank you all in advance.

Depends on the NOC/skill level, whether your work experience was obtained in Canada, and whether it was continuous for at least 12 months if you were working outside of Canada.

Thank you for replying. Its skill type A- Musicians - NOC 5133, wasn't in Canada, Yes, Ive been working full time, continuous for years. Have the documents to show for it.

Then yes, it counts.

And 30 hrs/week or more as well? If yes then probably u r eligible but without a bachelor degree your point tally will probably be low and I think that’s what immigration agencies meant

Yes, more than 30hrs/week. I will finish my bachelors degree this year, in an unrelated field(tourism). Thats why I'm so worried.

doesn't matter. work experience and education don't have to be in the same field

Alright guys, thanks!
Also, what if I have a 2 years work experience in A- category, then 2 years in C-category, then 2 years again in A-category.
How do I show that?

you only need to list experiences you are claiming points for

 

[Nooooj]

But that will mean that I will have to show a gap of 2 years. On the website I read my experience will need to be continuous.

a minimum of ONE year continuous to be ELIGIBLE

I get that, but I'm not getting enough points then.

Doesn’t matter as long as u have one year of continuous full time with 30 hrs/wk or more. There would u be two sections after ITA one is work history other is personal history. In work history u will only mention the experience for which u r claiming points irrespective of the gaps and in personal history u will mention all three. However if any of these jobs coincide with your studies just mention that for that duration u were studying rather than working

where? you have 4 years of experience. CRS points max out at three. what's your issue?

U can retake ielts to score L8S7R7W or more, go for masters degree after bachelors if Canada is such a priority for u improving your education will help a lot
