1) Do paid internships on post graduation work permit after graduation in-Canada (NOT ON Co-op but on PGWP) qualify for express entry CEC work experience?
2) If an internship is paid, is it considered employment or being employed? I am employed directly under the institution, no subcontractors.
3) If I have all paystubs, contract letter and job offer letters, will I be able to use it to claim points?

1. Yes if skilled and meets salary/wage average for that NOC. Not sure what the difference is between a paid job and a paid internship.
2. Are you employee that receives T4, tax deductions etc? If so yes, you are an employee and eligible for CEC.
3. You need a signed employment letter stating hours work, salary, job responsibilities and time worked. This is not your contract or job offer.

1) Thank you.
2) Yes. I receive pay slips, taxes are deducted. T4 will be issued as far as I confirmed during the next tax period.
3) I can secure one. My job offer does state all of them already though but I do know we need a reference letter to confirm everything.

If possible, can I add you on instagram for any more questions?

Generally, a valid offer is for a job that is:

A job offer must be in writing, and must set out details of the job they are offering you, such as:

  • your pay and deductions
  • your job duties
  • conditions of employment, like your hours of work.
In most cases, a valid job offer must be supported by a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA). The employer has to apply for one from Employment and Social Development Canada/Service Canada.

Maybe it will answer some of your questions.

1) Thank you
2) Thank you
3) My profile is already in pool with another job in NOC B which I already have worked 1 year for. Just making sure this internship position is still getting counted in case I may have to wait for a decision for another year.

Hello Guys,
Can someone help me in the following regards?

Currently, working as a purchasing manager in Canada with One year of experience.

I have 3 years of back home experience: One year as an apprentice (full-time, paid, done after study completion, in the procurement field) and the other is Two Years of experience as a Deputy Commercial Manager (Paid, full-time, in the supply chain field).

Now, I am not sure of few things that is as below:

  1. What NOC Code should I consider for these back home jobs? (One is paid apprentice and another is commercial manager; None of them is listed in NOC Codes)
  2. Should I be considering the NOC Codes based on the responsibilities?
  3. If NOC Codes are under different TEER Categories, such as apprentice is X and Commercial Manager is Y and Purchasing Manager is Y or Z, should there be any problem?
  4. Should those responsibilities (in the Reference Letter) must match with the Current purchasing manager job which I am doing right now?

Any help in this regards is very much appreciated.

Thanks
