Hello

I have worked about 1800 hours in total over 1 year and half period from my casual work where I worked 8 hours to 40 hours in a week. I manually calculated each week's hour and I just met 52 weeks of 30 hours ( 30~40hours of FT week + less than 30 hours of PT weeks) and got invitation just yesterday..

How does CIC determine and calculate my work hours into 52 weeks of 30 hours? It would be problematic for CIC as my pay statement shows only every 2 weeks, resulting in combining FT and PT hours.... If CIC considers some of my PT week as FT week, then I would not have 52 weeks!!

Please give me your advice!!

Thank you!!

Sorry, but can you clarify how you calculated? If CIC considers your PT week as full-time, that would give you MORE hours than you deserve, and it would show you would have more (not less) eligibility than is true.

CIC uses multiple sources to see how much you worked.
1) Your letter of reference
2) Tax documents
3) Pay stubs (good idea if you work variable hours)
4) Other supporting documents (e.g. a letter of explanation where you list all your hours worked, time sheets, etc).

If your main source of documentation for hours are bi-weekly paystubs, then IRCC will look to see if you worked at least 60 hours per pay period (that would be considered full-time).
