A question about one-year CONTINUOUS working experience

[specialmary]

Hi all,

Can I ask a question about the Canadian immigration? I have the following part-time working experience:

University Research Assistant (NOC 4012) - from Sep 2009 to Apr 2012 continuously - about 500 hours

University Teaching Assistant (NOC 4012) - from Sep 2009 to Apr 2010; from Sep 2010 to Apr 2011; from Jan 2012 to Apr 2012 - about 800 hours

University Lecturer (NOC 4011) - from May to June 2011; from Sep 2011-Dec 2011 - about 200 hours

Health Policy Researcher (NOC 4165) - from July 2011 to June 2012 continuously - about 800 hours

In sum, my only continuous experience is University Research Assistant. All other categories (university teaching assistant, lecturer, health policy researcher) are not continuous, but all happen within the interval of the university research assistant. The health policy researcher, however, even extend beyond the university research assistant.

They all belong to occupations O, A, or B category, I believe.

Do they sum up to one year of continous working experience?

Thank you for your advcie!

Mary

as per OP 6, VOs will check for the following,
1. 37.5 hours of work per week
and
2. total of 1 year (may be split)

so, if you have had 1 year of multiple part time experience, total of it will be considered, e.g. RA and TA that were parallel will be taken as 1+2, do you reach 37.5 per week this way? Also do you have 1 year of experience in total??

for your betterment, i would say, wait till you get 1 yr, whats your rush?

Hi, I still have a question about the one-year continuous working experience.

Operational Bulletin 173 from Immigration Canada defined one-year continuous working experience in the first Federal Skilled Worker category. If an applicant falls under two of these occupations in their special list, their application will still be considered as long as (1) one occupation immediately follows the next one, and (2) they added up to be continuous work experience of one year (defined as 1950 hours).

I wonder if the same rule also applies to the new category of international Ph.D. stream? That is, I have several categories that are continuous in nature, and they all fall under Occupation O, A, or B. Is my application still eligible for processing?

Thank you!

Mary

Hi. Try to recompute the hours that you spent for all of your part time jobs. Did they sum up to 37.5 per week? Continuous working experience should consist of 1 year.
