Working outside Canada does not count as Canadian Work Experience

[@Gaurav.Chopra]

Awesome information!! Getting CEC points one month in advance due to MMYY structure causes the biggest confusion. Thank you for the clarification once and forever. This information is highly appreciated.

Thanx for watching

Exceptionally useful explanation, thank you! Interesting rules on self employed work. I wonder whether working for an umbrella company in Canada, where you use an employee contract with that company, which may have clients anywhere, counts as Canadian work experience?

[@sarpsays]

Hi Kubeir, could you please clarify a small thing for me? I have 1 years and 10 months of Canadian work experience (mostly remote job, developer, but was actually residing IN Canada for this long). I am on a PGWP as a graduate of UBC by the way. After all the COVID stuff I travelled for a few months back to my family and worked remote there for around 3-4 months. So actually I have more than 2 years of "Canadian" work experience for my Canadian employers, however 3-4 months of that was remote abroad. Which is why I said at least 1 years & 10 months for sure as Canadian. Now I was looking at the CRS points, and it seems to get points for foreign work experience (which by the way seems the same as Canadian actually, just an additional 13 points for the second year), they all mention minimum 1 YEAR of foreign work experience to get the points. Of course I have only 3-4 months, because it was only during those 3-4 months abroad. Does this mean those 4 months just don't count for anything and are burned? I would assume they would either count as Canadian or Foreign mixed with Canadian and add up to my 2 years of work experience giving me 13 more points. Is this correct?

[@AskKubeir]

You need to be in Canada physically to claim that as Canadian work experience

[@VijayJajula]

Could you please please confirm, if that 4 months could be counted towards foreign experience that was not in canada

[@amnishsingh9093]

Hi Kubeir, I had an important question. If I work for a US based startup, via a Canadian subsidiary, get paid in CAD, and pay taxes to Canadian government, would that be considered valid work experience for CEC? I have tried to research a lot, but seems like a grey area to me.

[@AskKubeir]

If you are in Canada and work for a Canadian entity and get T4s then yes that's CEC

Hi Kubeir, I have now accumulated 2 years of experience and received my ITA last draw (CEC Stream). However, I took a 2 week paid vacation in my second year that got extended by 2 more weeks because i got COVID and couldnt return to Canada. Can i still apply or will i need to decline this ITA and work for a few more weeks? I did not travel at all in my first year of work experience. Please advise.

Thank you for this great informative video. Is a period of 2 weeks vacation outside Canada counted during this one year eligibility?

Yes 2 weeks is fine

[@simreenmatharu8613]

Hello sir, While filling up my ITA, there is a question asking the “Intended work in canada, does (my name) have a job offer in canada?” I had answered “yes” earlier(while creating EE profile) , and now got to know this is applicable for those applicants who have LMIA approved. I do not have LMIA, so should I be opting for “no”? I don’t see any difference in my score if I change my answer, I was planning to upload a letter of explanation saying I misunderstood the question while submitting my EE profile in pool and now I’m fixing it with no change in score. Do you think this is fine and be accepted? or can they reject it? Will appreciate if you answer as I’ll be submitting my ITA soon!

[@rohitgoyal5840]

Hi Kubeir, Thankful for the info. Just one question- would IRCC account for the vacation time that you spent outside of Canada? Or that will be deducted from your one year experience?

@Askkuber I was stuck in India for Around 4 month due to covid travel ban but I was in canadian payroll and paid taxes per approval from my canadian firm. I have already completed 1 year of experience but should I update my profile for 2 year to get additional points?

[@cibisounder]

What did you end up doing? Were you able to get PR by showing two years of work experience? In a similar spot.

[@rohitgoyal5840]

Hi Kubeir, could you please confirm if 3-4 weeks outside canada as a vacation is okay or not? It was during Christmas when companies give paid time off. Your guidance is highly appreciated.

[@SaiPrasadReddy-u8d]

Hello sir, I was outside of Canada for 2 months in last 2 years. But I got paid for those 2 months. I assume IRCC deduct 20 days(4 weeks) as vacation and consider the rest of the weeks from those 2 months for my CEC. If not correct me please.

Hello Kuber, what if we need to travel outside of canada related to our work, if your company is sending you out for a week or 2 ( business trip ). Does that time count towards your working hours. As its job related travel to US or India

[@jaishreesuresh9714]

Hi there, I was in implied status from april 2023, got my work permit in may 2023. So technically, the work experience starts from april 2023. But I went to India for 3 months and worked from there for my Canadian company. my work permit is expiring on may 16th of this year. But from your video, looks like the experience in India wont be counted towards my points. I would need 3 more months to complete that, but I cant work also since my permit is expiring. what options do I have to continue working for a few months. employer support is ruled out.

[@jatindeepbahl]

Does LMIA 50 points also calculated along with Work Experience points?

[@AskKubeir]

No, that's additional under arranged employment

[@SoulfulRides]

Hi Kubeir, Should this time outside Canada on account of vacation be mentioned in the application any where if one receives an ITA?

[@jatindeepbahl]

@@AskKubeir i mean sir, i have received LMIA, now applying for work permit. After 1 year exp. In Canada, if I apply for PR then I will be getting points for LMIA and Work Exp.!! That's 85 points. Am i correct here, sir!!!

Dear Mr. Kubeir... Me and my friend is on closed work permit working toronto.. our employer gives around 24 hours a week and sometimes gives 38 hours/week depending on volume of sales. Will these 24 hours be counted or we must need min 30hrs/week for 52 weeks since on closed WP as there is no part time option. after watching ur video we are arguing each other like extra hours can compensate lost hours from 30hrs/week or extra 30hr weeks needed to be get compensated. We kindly request your clarification...

24hours will count as part time.

Congratulations Kubeir on official launch of your new office. I have a question; Is there a way to know status of my application. Actually after receiving nomination (SINP) I submitted my paper based application OID( non express entry) on 1 July 2022 but still waiting for any update/ file number/AOR . I sent webform on 28 September 2022 and it was computer generated reply that I may receive reply from IRCC within 5 to 28days but till now no reply . I am worried because I don't have any other proof of submitting paper application to IRCC except delivery confirmation slip from DHL courier. Kindly advise.

Dear Sir, Please clarify 1 more question for Valid Job Offer, Intra company transfer (LMIIA exempt-specialized knowledge) can get 50 points after 1 year completion. Do they need to show 1 year future offer or there work already for 12 months is good enough for 50 points. Given that they are still working with that employer on closed work permit. Thanks for clarifying CEC 11 months ITA confusion as well.

[@vm5847]

Sir, Is the one year exp at the time of ITA or at the time of submitting the completed application? Why am I asking is that If I get ITA exactly after 12 months but I had spent 1 month outside Canada in those 12 months . IRCC gives 60 days to apply and I apply on the 30 th day after I received the ITA . Is this valid ? Since I have applied after 13 months though I received the ITA after the 12 month

Thank you very much for this informative video. I have been following your youtube videos for a while and thank you very much for your great service. Could you kindly help me with my unique situation for which I need some clarity? I am on an Open work permit since 2021 Jan. The permit got expired by the end of Feb 2022. But I applied for a renewal 45 days before the expiry (by the middle of Jan 2022). Still, it took about 185 days to get the renewed work permit. So there was a time window where I didn't have a valid work permit (between March and August 2022). Does this mean that the work experience I gained during this time in Canada will not be valid for the Canadian Experience Class? thanks again!

If you were on implied status then that period of work is legal and accepted
