If you have case specific questions about afile, you are encouraged to submit the [RCC Web form. Please see our response to your question. Question: 1am writing to seek clarification on Express Entry eligibility, points allocation, and the lock-in date for points, specifically concerning foreign work experience and skill transferability factors, For ease of understanding, t have divided my inquiry into distinct questions and included an example for context. 1. Impact of Foreign Work Experience Older Than 10 Years on Eligibility and Points Example: One of my clients is currently in the Express Entry pool with foreign work experience from July 1, 2014, to December 31, 2015. As of January 2025, her profile shows eligibility for both the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC) (she has recent Canadian work experience as well). She has also been awarded points under skill transferability factors for her foreign work experience. Question 1: f this candidate receives an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in January 2025, can she accept the invitation even though the start date of her foreign work experience will be older than 10 years at the time of ITA? 2. Timing of Points Removal for Foreign Work Experience Question 2: When exactly will she lose points for her foreign work experience under the Comprehensive Ranking System {CRS}? Considering that she is currently earning points for the period January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015, will she lose points in February 2025, when her work experience will amount to only 11 months within the last 10 years? 3. Eligibility for Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSW) Post-10-Year Period Question 3: if her foreign work experience becomes older than 10 years, causing her to lase eligibility under the FSW program, will she also lose points for skill transferability factors associated with that foreign work experience? 4. General Applicability of Skill Transferability Points Question 4: Can foreign nationals still claim points under skill transferability factors if their foreign work experience falls outside the 10-year period considered for CRS scoring?
