I am confused about terms continuity and same occupation.

I worked full time from January 2014 to July 2015 (18 months) as a Civil Engineer (2131). Then I left for the USA for Masters.
I worked part-time from January 2016 to May 2017 (17 months which means 8 months of full time) as a Research Assitant under a Civil Engineering Professor while doing my Masters
I started working full time again from Sept 2017 to Aug 2018 (12 months) as a Civil Engineer (2131)

Does this all count as continuous?

Also, can I include research assistant position as the research work was about civil engineering? Can this position be included in NOC 2131 job?

I am confused can someone please explain to me how many years of work experience do I have for EE?

Thank you.
Yes. Claim points for all the months you worked as a research assistant. Just get a letter from your graduate coordinator under a letterhead indicating same. Your supervising professor can also do that for you.

I claimed same points and my case is approved for eligibility. You’re good bro.

Good luck
Just mentioned that your part time and full time works are in different NOCs.

Hello experts,

I am in serious trouble. Can you please guide me.
I worked as a research assistant for 3 years during my Undergrad degree. I was paid for that period. I have an appointment letter and reference letter from the professor. Although I did research related activities my professor didn't include my name in any of the publications.

So now I was wondering if I can claim points under NOC 4012 or not as I don't have my name written in any publications?

I don't think publication is any requirement if you have paychecks and experience letter for that work and you worked more than 20 hours but less than 40 hours you can count it in as work experience but it will be counted 1.5 years
