Effect of foreign travel and remote work on CRS score

[DDebasmita]

Hi All,
I am planning to go to India on a vacation for 1 month which includes 2 weeks of remote work.
Does it have impact on total canadian experience in Canada for PR application? Do I need to update this in IRCC?

Note: I am a permanent employee and work for a Canadian company. All my leaves will be paid.

Work not IN Canada doesn't count towards Canadian experience.

You’ll need the period of foreign work experience between the 2 stretches working in Canada and the 2 weeks of vacation that you can count.

So my 3 weeks of paid vacation won’t impact, right?

You can typically only count 2 weeks towards PR.

Why 2 weeks ?

Why 2 weeks ?

It can be tricky. How long have you been working for the employer?

Most common length of paid vacation time.

Only work physically performed in Canada counts toward Canadian experience.

The 2 weeks you work remotely from India will not count as Canadian work experience because you are outside Canada during that time.

Your paid vacation does not affect your eligibility as long as you remain employed. Short paid leave is fine.

If you are close to completing 1 full year, just make sure you calculate carefully and exclude the period worked outside Canada. No need to inform IRCC unless it changes your claimed work duration.
