How is work experience calculated?

[Oys]

How is work experience calculated? Is it that they only start counting after your results are declared? For eg. I started working in June 15, but my results were declared in the month of September. So will the count from June 15- June 17 i.e 2 years or Sept 15- June 17 i.e 1 year 9 months, as I'll be losing out on my points. Kindly help.

It should be based on when you started.

It starts on the date you first started working in a particular position. It must be full-time, continuous work.

As long as it was full-time, in the NOC you are claiming and remunarated, it will go towards your total years of experience.

Yes, as long as it was full-time, in the NOC you are claiming and remunarated

What do you mean in the NOC you are claiming ?

NOC stands for National Occupational Classification and it is how Canada classifies the type of work that express entry candidates can qualify for.
See here https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/find-national-occupation-code.html

You get points for 1 year, 2 years or 3 years of experience in a given field included in the available NOCs.

Company A - 2 Months Noc 2173
Company B -23 months NOC 2174
Company C - 6 Months NOC 2171
Company B - 5 Months ongoing NOC 2174

Does it count as 3 years ?

I may be the minority but I always prefer checking the official original sourse. Requirements for Federal Skilled worker clearly state:
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)
So,in youe case, NOC 2174 gives you the most months, so you should only indicate this NOc in you EE profile.

Yes my primary NOC will be 2174. But can i claim work experience under other NOC also ? Does it sum to 3 years ?

It will not count as 3 years for a primary occupation. Like Igor_K said, you would have 28 months.

The requirements state:

So, no. Only one NOC.
