Can I claim points for 1 Year non-continuous foreign work experience in the same NOC if I have 1 year CEC?

[danda]

This question has been running through my head and I can't seem to find any answer to it. I already have 1 year of skilled work experience in Canada so I am eligible under CEC and 1 year of foreign skilled work experience as a bookkeeper but it wasn't continuous so basically I was working in the same company under a paid internship back in my foreign country doing the duties and responsibilities full-time during the time that I was away from Canada on a study permit during my spring/summer holidays and it wasn't part of any co-op experience.

My employer is willing to provide for me with all the necessary letters/paystubs etc. I'm I eligible to claim foreign work experience points in this case?

Hi,

I looked up the Ministerial Instruction on the EE CRS system and did not find anything mentioning that the foreign work experience must be continuous. It only says that it must be obtained within the past 10 years, be paid, and be full-time or equivalent part-time. Section 25 (1) and (2). https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/mandate/policies-operational-instructions-agreements/ministerial-instructions/express-entry-application-management-system/current.html

So I guess you can claim this one-year foreign work experience, unless someone else had done this and got refused.
