Work experience is worth up to 15 points, counted over the ten years before you apply: 9 points for one year, 11 for two to three, 13 for four to five, and 15 for six or more. Only paid TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 work counts, and never a restricted occupation. Working 60 hours a week or holding two jobs at once does not double anything, it still reads as one full-time period. You have to name the NOC code for each job, because an officer is not obliged to look at work you did not list.
