Indian Worker Boosts CRS Score by 60 Points with Dual Work Experience Strategy
Sanjay Reddy, a 28-year-old Indian foreign worker in Canada, has discovered a way to gain a year of eligible Canadian and foreign work experience simultaneously, boosting his Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score significantly. This strategy could enhance his chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence through Express Entry.
Reddy can achieve this by working for both a Canadian and an Indian employer, ensuring less than half of his annual working time is spent abroad and adhering to specific time limits and framework agreements. His CRS score will leap from 470 to 533, meeting the cut-off for recent Canadian Experience Class (CEC) draws.
To qualify, Reddy's work experience must fall under NOC TEER levels 0, 1, 2, or 3, be paid, and continuous for at least one year. For CEC, the work must be gained in Canada within the last three years. For Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), it must be in the same NOC as the job used for the immigration application and obtained within the last 10 years. The Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) requires two years of full-time work experience in a skilled trade within five years before applying.
By pursuing this strategy, Reddy can increase his CRS score by over 60 points in a single year. However, he must ensure his work experience meets the eligibility requirements of the stream he's applying under and the general requirements for Canadian and foreign work experience under Express Entry. This method allows foreign nationals in Canada's Express Entry system to gain both foreign and in-Canada work experience simultaneously, potentially leading to faster permanent residence.
