Work Experience Start Date From Training or From Start of Payment

[Lordmandeep]

Hello, my fiance will be applying for permanent residence in Canada through Express Entry. She had a training from 15 September 2019 for a few days at a restaurant. Later she started her full-time job there from 25 October 2019. Since when the one year of experience will be counted for Canadian express entry: from September or October?

Please look at the job contract signed for the job or the letter of employment issued by the employer. Some employers include training and start paying from the beginning of the training but others provide training and then start paying. Just go through your documents, you will find the answer.

Please do not post the contract or letter of employment on this public forum. If you will find difficult to figure out, bring the signed contract to our office or send us an email, we can clarify for you. Good Luck !
