Was looking for some clarification on foreign work experience.
I was working in the UK from 2004-2008 continuously as an accountant. I have since been working as an accountant, but have regularly took time off to go travelling and therefore was doing other minor jobs (admin etc..). I was reading on the CIC website that the work has to be continuous, which would meet the criteria. However, it says "within the last 10 years". Therefore I am presuming that I could only count June 2005 until June 2008 within this experience? The biggest irony of this whole thing is that I actually stopped working in that job June 25th. Does that mean I will only have the points for 3 years of foreign work experience until June 25th 2015? I have worked as an accountant since, but was only for 5 months in Australia (therefore it wasn't continuous).
I have also worked in Canada for 2 years now (1 year on co-op work permit, 8 months on off campus work permit and then 4 months on post graduate work permit). Even though its a work permit, I think this doesn't count because I also had a study permit at the time. What confuses me about this item is: "paid work (volunteer work, unpaid internships do not count)". These were fully paid internships and I had a valid work permit for all of them. Alongside my study permit.
