AOR Received.

I have more than three years of experience in a specific NOC. That work experience ended in 2011 and after that, I have been in education and upgrading my skills. That is to say, I have no continuous work experience apart from a lot of internships in the past 6 years. Would this be a problem?

Not at all. For FSW, you can't get CRS points for more than three years of work experience in the last 10 years. You're good to go.

I have gaps in my employment...wasn't an issue. I explained in personal history whatever I was doing..and also in LOE....it could be anything...from cooking to job hunting....gaps are okay but don't forget to explain what u were doing in personal history and LOE...
