I've got my spouse and my ECA finally done from WES. I have started building my EE profile and have some doubts which I hope the other members can help resolve.
- My relevant foreign work experience is around 7.5yrs. Out of this 2.3yrs are in my current job. The FSW eligibility points for work experience max out at 6 years. I am clearing 67 points by showing my work experience in my earlier jobs (approx 5 years). The CRS points for foreign work experience max out at 3yrs. So should I enter only my earlier jobs in the EE profile, and show my current job in the personal history post ITA? I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the reference letter from my current employer.
- Is it OK if I claim CRS points from my older work experience (starting from 2009) and not from my recent one (post 2015)? Is there any requirement of giving priority to recent work experience over older one?
- My spouse runs her own business. In the EE profile, should I mention this as work experience. She has a proprietorship and so there are no separate tax records or certificates. I'm aware that the spouse's foreign work experience does not gather me any points. So I can skip entering her work experience. But, will it be a problem for her to work in Canada if I haven't shown any work experience in the EE profile?
- My wife had a year back in her engineering degree (4 year course). Should the number of academic years be shown as 4 or 5?
- I'm leaving the Representative section in the EE profile as "No". Hope I can change this later if I decide to take help of a lawyer.
