Express Entry - CEC years of experience

[eqrkim]

Hi there,

I do understand that in order to qualify for the CEC requirement, I have to have minimum 12 months of experiences regardless of how many hours I work per week.

Now I have 18 months of experiences; 58 hrs a week for 14 months and 30 hrs a week for 4 months.
Basically, I have approximately 4000+ hours of experience.

So, when I fill out the EE profile, can I say that I have 2 years worth of experience?
Or 1 yr = 1560 hrs is there to show the minimum hours required per 1 year of experience?

I am sorry if my explanation is not clear, but I just want to know if I can calculate my experiences based on the hour of experience given that I have worked over .

Thank you again and best wishes for Happy Holidays and a magnificent New Year!
Regards,
L

No you cannot. No matter how many hours you worked. 52 weeks is counted as one year whether it was 30 a week or 60. Same goes with 104 weeks count as 2 years.

You have a combined 18 months of full-time experience. That is less than 2 years, so no, you cannot say you have 2 years of experience (yet).

But at least you have the 1 year to qualify under CEC...

Just curious why did you decline twice with 455 points!?
