CEC express entry - Experience continuous or not? + 1more Question

[visacoming]

So, currently under NOC B in Canada, however I went to my home country for one month in between...will this break the one year continuous experience?

I have read that for CEC express entry work experience does not need to be continuous however some threads I read it needs to be continuous..

==============================================================================
I think thats okay if it just continuous, I just need a confirmation regarding that from you guys.

===============================================================================

Now, if non-continuous work is allowed, will I be able to count the 1 month experience (3 weeks of those were paid vacation by my employer)

-- Meaning 11 months full time work + This one month paid vacation = Eligible

OR

-- 12 months + 1 month paid vacation = Eligible to be safe?
================================================================================


If someone could help me please....thank you

First - one year = 52 weeks. If you think 3 weeks = 1 month, you could have a problem in calculating eligibility. Make sure you are talking about 52 full weeks.

Second - paid vacation IS employment. In no case would taking paid vacation be considered a break in employment. It counts.

Third - if you mean you took 4 weeks of vacation and 3 were paid by your employer, then you cannot count one week (t would be just one week of unpaid leave). It is still continuous.

Fourth - it is always a good idea to work a little more than the bare minimum required, just to give yourself a little buffer (in case of calculation errors).

Hope this helps.

Work experience need not be continuous under the CEC program. If you're reading old threads then that's the reason for the confusion.
