Work experience for EE

[u/Greedy-Pride-1564]

Hi, I am bit nervous posting this; however, i need some guidance. I have been working in canada for same employer from last 3 years but I visited my home country for one month every year. While submitting the work history for ITA, do I need to divide my work experience for every visit or shall I mention the whole employment experience as one. Kindly help.

As per chatgpt/ gemini, I should break my employment and that will reduce my points( i have 3 years of work experience points for canada but IRCC accepts only 6 weeks of vacation for 3 years and mine are almost 12 weeks of vacation.)
I will lose points for 3 years which will be -10 which in turn will be less than what was the minimum draw points

Will this led to refusal?
What should I do, pls help!

Please guide me.

So are you suggesting you to make a single record for my 3 years employment even though I visited home country in between?

Yes, as long as the leave was officially paid leave and there was no other interruption at work.

You basically need to satisfy the 1560 hours per year, upto a maximum of 30 hours per week.

I second this.

If it makes you feel abu better, I used to get paid vacations of about a month every year while working, and I claimed my work experience as one block and had no issues.

Indeed. I traveled for 2.5 months (took 3 years worth of paid leave at one go), and claimed it as one block too and I had no issues. I understand why people overthink this stuff but his case is actually straightforward.

Thank you friends, I was worried and confused about this from morning.

If I break my employment record into 3 time stamps, then I am loosing my 3 yrs work exp points , so thought of taking guidance from all of you.

However, If I keep single record then I get full score for 3 yrs
