Hello!!
I just wanted to know if the word trainee in reference letter issued by employer might be an issue to calim valid work experience. Although being trainee, I was paid, worked full time, job duties matches NOC 11111 completely.I can provide all the documents to prove my job. I wanted to be sure if the word trainee in my experience letter will create any problem??

If it was not part of your education, then you can claim points for it.

*Some educations is completed only after doing an internship/apprenticeship at a relevant company. CIC would not consider that as skilled experience

as long as you have the right job duties and it's paid experience, you're good to go
Actually Under NOC 11111, it is stated that "Articling students are included in this unit group" and many people have got PR claiming experience as article. But the experience letter says articled trainee and not articled assistant. So I was worried.

Trainee designation can be rejected. Also, 1111 NOC is for CAs. If you have cleared CA, then only you can apply under this NOC.
