Express Entry - Forgein Work Experience: NOCs Help

[Rebeca.hochman]

Hello everyone,

I am planning to apply for the EE under the Federal Skilled Worker program, but I have a question regarding the NOCs.

My current forgein work experience is:

Company A: 1 year and 2 months: NOC 0 (0601);
Company B: 1 year and 8 months: NOC B (1226);
Company C: 2 months: NOC B (1226).

The sum is exactly 3 years of forgein work experience, but would it count as 3 years although the experiences were obtained in differente NOCs?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, no, it would not count as 3 years of experience:

Your skilled work experience must be:

• in the same type of job (have the same NOC) as the job you want to use for your immigration application (called your primary occupation)

Wrong. What you quoted refers to eligibility requirement, i.e. the primary NOC

But for my primary occupation, I would use the same type of job, NOC B 1226, which I have at least 1 year of paid and continuos work experience.

Yes you can count 3 years of experience for CRS purpose, assuming you meet the eligibility requirement, i.e your experience in primary NOC is continuous for at least 1 year
