Unpaid leave and CEC

[Sorobu]

Hello,

For my foreign work experience I worked for 55 weeks (40hrs a week). I took 3 weeks and 1 day of vacation within this time period, 1 week was paid and the rest was unpaid (as I had not accrued enough holiday pay at this current time) Would this qualify as 1 years experience for CEC? Would there be any issues with this?

55 - 3 + 1 = 53 weeks. A year = 52 weeks. As long you worked full-time for at least 52 weeks, you are still qualified.

No foreign work experience can be used to qualify for CEC. If you mean for your CRS score, then yes, it will count as 1 year.
