Hello!

I worked and was paid as a TA (NOC code 4012) in the UK for 3 years part time (average 12-15hours per week = over 1560hours within the last 10 years).

I got my UK university to write a Proof of Work letter which lists my hourly wage and average hours per week...but they also included this:

This was a worker engagement and not a period of employment, under this agreement individuals have the right to decline work offered without penalty and the University is not under any obligation to offer work.”

So basically my old employer says it wasn't employment...

My question: Will CIC count this as foreign work experience? Or do they go by the opinion of my former employer?
