Federal Skilled Worker Eligibility Work Continuous Or Gap Works

[Jagroop]

I came to Canada on a study permit. Now, I am working as a supervisor on NOC level B job in Toronto for the past 8 months. I worked three plus years in India as a supervisor and then manager. There was a gap of one month in both jobs. Does work require a continuous on a full-time basis to become eligible for Federal skilled Worker Class or a gap is acceptable?

To become eligible for Federal Skilled Worker application, your work experience should be continuous and falls in the same type of job (have the same NOC) as the job you want to use for your immigration application. It should be same primary occupation NOC code as you mentioned in your express entry profile. Your federal skilled work must be:

1. within the last 10 years

2. paid work

3. at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week)

Full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

Equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

Full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full

time (1,560 hours)

So the work experience you have will be counted as two different jobs of two different time durations. You cannot count it as continuous three years of skilled work experience.
