CEC remote work experience point calculation

[CanGoldDigger]

Well I got the ITA on Feb 9 and on March 9 itself I'll complete 104 weeks in Canada. So, I'm not misrepresenting anything I guess. I'm planning to submit the application on April 9 for the extra buffer. The only thing that worries me is I was in my home country for June 21 and in the express entry form mentioned that as July-Aug. I don't think that should be a major issue. Also can I show this as a paid vacation just to be safe. IRCC allows up to 2 weeks of vacation every year anyway right?

Yes, just don't get lost with these vacation days and foreign experience, that would be a real misrep.

You should be good.

Don't put it off for the last day as well, that's risky.

"Yes, just don't get lost with these vacation days and foreign experience, that would be a real misrep." - Could you please elaborate more on this? IRCC anyway doesn't expect us to share the exact dates right? Also all my work was completely paid and I can prove that through the payslips for those months as well (40 hours/week throughout the year).

Also just curious, how does IRCC know about vacations in general and whether someone has taken them or not because my passport obviously confirms I left the country on June 21 but how do they know whether it was paid vacation or foreign experience? All they are concerned with is 104 weeks in Canada right? Also to be more safe, should I get a letter about this from my employer?

You will need to show the exact dates in your reference letter, your travel history, personal history etc, it's all cross referenced very easily.

The vacation is okay if it's paid and approved and no more than 2 weeks a year.

Personal history just expects month and year
Travel history is only supposed to have countries you visited other than your home country.
