skilled foreign work experience

[yashINDIAN]

Following is the question asked in CIC calculator

"ii. How many years of skilled foreign work experience do you have? It must have been continuous, paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation."

I am in India. Applying from India. Studied in India. Did my MBA in India. worked for 4years in India. Never outside India. So in working in India considered foreign or any other country except India is considered foreign.

Please help I wanna apply but all my future processes depends on this single issue.

Thanks a ton Johnny. actually my consultant told that when I work anywhere outside India thats considered foreign.

thats correct, but in different context. in the context of processing papers for canada or any other country, foreign work experience is considered the experience gained outside that country.

So in my case India is considered foreign work experience or not. I am Indian and If in following section of Express Entry if my experience is not considered foreign I have no change to clear cut off

ii. How many years of skilled foreign work experience do you have? It must have been continuous, paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation.

Hello,

Could someone support me to answer one particular question properly in EE/FSWP eligibility questionnaire?
This is the question with regards to skilled work experience stated below:

"In the last 10 years, how many years of skilled work experience do you have? It must have been continuous, paid, full-time (or an equal amount in part-time), and in only one occupation."

If I have experience in one particular NOC as follows:
- May 2020 - August 2021
- Sept 2014 - Dec 2017
Total: 4 years 8 months

1. For this question, can I choose Four to Five years as my experience is within one NOC (as my primary occupation), even though it was interrupted while I was holding different occupation (different NOC) in between?
2. Can I also add this different NOC for CRS points later on and will I be granted additional points for it (other than my primary occupation NOC)?

Thank you in advance, I would very much appreciate your help!
