There is an issue in my work experience history that i want it clarified. I first started working on 06 Dec 2012 with my first employer til end of Oct 2013 then i was unemployed til 12 Apr 2014, that's when i started working with my second employer who i am currently working with up til now.
My question is do these experiences count as 3 years to qualify me to earn the maximum points from foreign work experience given that i have CLB 9 off course and whether will the unemployed gap be an issue during the application assessment because i think i read someplace that it needs to be continuous work experience.

Experience time line
  • 06/12/2012 to 01/11/2013 employed as civil engineer
  • 01/11/2013 to 11/04/2014 unemployed
  • 12/04/2014 till now employed as civil engineer

I would rather mentioning the unemployed period because i can not provide any payslips or salary transfer to my bank for this period if they asked to verify it, however i can get a reference letter for the unemployed period from my first employer if i wanted to.
Your guidance would be much appreciated, Thanks
 
Really need help and some guidance in this situation. Thanks in advance.

I do not see any problem here, if your total experience is more than 3 years. I would suggest mention unemployed period as unemployed only. Do not try to forge anything.
 
The longest period of continuous foreign work experience in one NOC in the last 10 years

does it still count as 3 years despite having that gap of 5 months of unemployment in between?
will i be eligible for the maximum points in skill transferability? or the work experience should be 3 continuous years without any gaps in the middle.

Thanks for your answer

Yes you will be able to get points for 3 years of experience. You should have total 3 years of experience with minimum 1 years of continuous experience in main NOC.
