Express Entry打分系統對加拿大工作經驗不再要求連續

　　之前我們對“不連續的加拿大工作經驗是否能加分”以及“如何定義連續”作了很多探討。
　　今天CIC頒布的新的部長指令，從5月30日開始生效。在移民快速通道 Express Entry打分系統中，過去10年內的加拿大工作經驗不再要求連續就可以加分，這個改變對申請人和配偶（普通法伴侶）都有效。

Ministerial Instructions for the Express Entry Application Management System
DEPARTMENT OF CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION

Notice: A technical amendment has been made to sections 15, 19 and 25 of the Ministerial Instructions for the Express Entry Application Management System.

Paragraphs 15(3)(b) and 19(4)(b) were modified to remove the requirement that Canadian work experience be continuous for determining points under the Comprehensive Ranking System for the candidate, spouse or common-law partner.

For consistency and clarity, the Ministerial Instructions were also modified as follows:

The term “with one or more employers” was added to paragraphs 15(3)(b), 19(4)(b) and 25(1)(b);

The term “full-time employment” in subsections 15(5), 19(6) and 25(3) was replaced by “full-time work;”
Subsection 19(3) was repealed; and,

The word “emploi” in subsections 15(6), 19(7) and 25(4) and paragraphs 15(7)(a) and 19(8)(a) of the French version of the Ministerial Instructions was replaced by “travail.”

These Instructions come into force on May 30, 2015.

Note: As of May 30, 2015, all valid Canadian work experience will be recognized under the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) of Express Entry as CIC is removing the requirement that Canadian work experience be continuous. As a result, foreign nationals with Canadian work experience could see an increase in their CRS points.
