You will earn points for the number of years you have spent in full-time
(37.5 hours per week), paid work.
Minimum work experience requirements
You must meet the following minimum work experience requirements
to be eligible to apply as a skilled worker:
Determining your NOC category
To determine how many points you can earn for your work experience,
go to the Occupational Descriptions page on the NOC website.
Follow the instructions to find the NOC category
that matches your work experience.
If the initial description and list of main duties match what you
did at your last job(s), you can use this experience to earn points
under the selection factors when you apply as a skilled worker.
If the description does not match your work experience, then you
might not have the experience you need to apply as a skilled worker.
Look through the NOC list to see if another occupation matches your
experience. Check all the jobs you had in the past 10 years to see
if you have at least one year of work experience in a
job that will qualify you as a skilled worker.
Note: Remember that you must have work experience
in an occupation in Skill type 0 or Skill level A or B and
that your experience must have occurred during the 10 years before
the date of application.
