FSW: CIC count the work hours by 30 hours/ week even I worked 40 hours/ week?

[sunghyun]

I know that in order to quality for FSW, I require minimum of 1 year work experience.

If I work part-time, full-time, part-time, full-time periodically, is that also count? (Or only regularly work full-time counts?)
Also, does CIC count the work hours by 30 hours/ week even I worked 40 hours/ week?
How about the work I had during the study permit & off-campus work permit? Do they count that also when I apply for FSW?

Thanks,

Again, you have to meet the 1560 hour requirement and ALSO the 12 month requirement.

When calculating the 12 month requirement...

- Any week where you work 30 hours or more is counted as 1 week (no matter how many hours you work extra)
- For any week where you work less than 30 hours, add up the hours, divide by 30 and you have the number of full time equivalent weeks

Here is the link on the CIC website that corroborates what scylla had already told you:

Calculating work experience for FSW

Work experience can be calculated by:

adding up the number of continuous weeks of full-time (or equivalent in part-time) paid work (i.e., 30 hours/37.5 hours per week in one full-time job, a combined total of at least 30 hours/37.5 hours per week in more than one part-time job,
15 hours per week in one part-time job over a period of two years, etc) in one or more skilled occupations at Skill Type 0 (Managerial occupations), Skill Level A (Professional occupations) or B (Technical occupations and skilled trades) of NOC 2011.

Note: Work in excess of 30 hours/37.5 hours of paid work over a period of one week cannot compensate for less than one year of full-time work experience.
