How does the system count work experience?

[sandra02]

I can write only months and years to the work history. How does the system count foreign work experience? Example:
work from 2011.02-2011.11 is that 10 months or 9 months? Thanks a lot.

I have only 3 years and 3 days work experience, so the answer is very important for me. I want to remove my other employer, who is out of the business and can not provide proper employer letter.
But my eligibility depends how the system count the months.
I really appreciate for any help.

How the system counts the months doesn't matter that much. Once you are selected and have to submit your application, you'll need to prove that you've worked enough weeks to claim the work experience you say you have. So for each year of work experience you claim, you will have to prove that you have 52 weeks of full time experience.

Thank you scylla.
I provided 3 employers in ITA but I want remove the oldest one. Without that I have only 3 years and 3 days experience. But if the systeme counts 02.2011-11.2011 is 10 months, I am ok. But if it counts 9 months, I am not ok. The system does not ask week or day. Only month. I am so confused.

The automated "express entry" system will count that as 10 months. HOWEVER, you need to count using exact dates (dd/mm/yyyy), as that is how the VO will count.

If the system counts that as 10 months, but you actually have less than 10 months when the visa officer reviews it, you will lose the points (and your application fee) and possibly become ineligible.

One year = 52 weeks. 51 weeks is NOT one year. 3 years = 156 weeks. Make sure you are truly eligible for the points you are claiming.

Thank you so much, I really appreciate for your explanation.
I worked from 15 September,2008-26 Nov,2010 and 07 February 2011-30 November 2011. So it is exactly 3 years and 3 days, if the officer will count the exact days, I am ok. It is 157 weeks also, it should be ok on this way also. Thank you so much again.

No, you only need documents for skilled work experience (NOC O,A, or B) that you claim for points.

Yes, you should be OK : )
