Express Entry Work Experience

[harshsoni77]

Hi All,
I graduated in 2017(completed my Bachelor's).But i was simultaneously working since 2014 ( After my 12th) as full time employee & was studying full time. I wanted to know if my work experience will be counted from 2014 to 2017 (which was in the same NOC code 6232). Or will it be only counted after i completed my graduation (in2017). Please let me know about it asap.Thank you and appreciate your time

It depends on your Express Entry stream. For FSWP, you can claim the hours you've worked towards your experience while studying, but for CEC applicants you cannot claim any points while at school. If you are an FSWP applicant claim the points since completion of secondary school is only required to practice NOC 6232. Go to this link to get to know more about claiming points while studying: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=394&top=29

Did you use the official CRS tool to calculate your points? If I’m not wrong, you should be able to get 25 points for your foreign work experience.
