Hello,

Regarding the 1 year of Canadian experience for CEC:

I would like to check if it's ok to have a weekend + Monday gap (3 days total: Saturday, Sunday, Monday) between 2 jobs. The last day of the 1st job is on Friday and the first day of the next job is on next Tuesday.

So for example, I work 8 months for the first job + gap 3 days including weekend + 4 months of the second job.

Thank you
 
Canadian experience doesn’t have to be continuous so no issue.

Hello @Naturgrl thanks for replying, I read here : Eligibility to apply for the Canadian Experience Class (Express Entry)

that the Exp needs to be:
  • full-time work at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
And they don't count hours that is > 30 hours/week. I'm afraid that by losing that Monday in the gap, I won't have enough 1560 hours...
If it's not continuous, how can it be 1560 hours?

Because you just need one year Canadian experience. It can be done months or years apart.
