Dear all,

I have got IELTS score (7.5 aggregate and above 6 in each) + I have got WES assessment done (Master's Degree). I am about to upload my profile but just need some expert advise on how to show experience.

I have dome M.Sc. in Biology. While the jobs I have done are all related to my study but they are in two different sectors. 1- Agriculture Sector and 2- Education Sector. Details of my work is here in below.

i) 22 months of experience (Feb 2012 to Dec 2013) in Skill Level 'O' with NOC Code 0821 (Titles- Mushroom Grower OR Mushroom Producer)

ii) 17 months of experience (Feb 2014 to June 2015) in Skill Level 'A' with NOC Code 4166 (Title- Curriculum Developer)

iii) 6 months (12 months part-time) of experience (June 2009 to 2010- while doing M.Sc.) in Skill Level 'A' with NOC Code 4012 (Title - Laboratory Demonstrator)

Kindly let me know if I can use all the experiences (3 years and 9 months) to claim points. Job with skill level 'O' comes under skilled category.

Your earliest responses and guidance will be much appreciated.

Thanks for your time.
 
3 things.

1. To get work experience points on FSW scale of 100, check this link to see how you fare ---> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

2. You'll have to show at least 1 year of work experience in the last 10 years for EE - recommend that you showcase O/A.

3. For securing highest points under work experience, you need to have 3 years of full-time, paid work experience in last 10 years (can be multiple NOC code and discontinuous). You have this without even resorting to your part-time experience. Recommend that you keep it out of your work history and include only in your personal history. You'll still max out on Work experience so no concerns there.

All the best!
 
Thanks Asivas Anac,

So, its not mandatory to have experience in the same occupation. One can can have skilled work experience in variety of jobs, right?

I would prefer to show part time experience as it was with a reputed New Zealand university. Hope that wouldnt be a trouble?!

Please advise.
 
Yes. Across NOC experience is fine provided it is in 0/A/B.

Of course no trouble. But won't be any advantage either. Unfortunately, CIC doesn't care if you taught at a prestigious NZ college or out in the dumps somewhere. All they care about is if you can convince them and validate the experience.
