Full-time and Part-time Hours calculation on open WP for Express Entry

[jeet patel]

Hello,

I am planning to apply under express entry but I think I running short on hours, can anyone please help me figure out how many hours will count.

I have NOC B full time experience for 6 months working 40 hours/week. I have couple weeks with some unpaid leave, does that raise issues? on 2 paystubs it has 24 and 40 hours bi-weekly. To count how much hours counts, Do I just add up all the hours worked? which comes around 945 hours in total.

Another experience I have is under different NOC B for around 8 months. But it was part-time for most of the time and hours are irregular ranging from 30 hours/ Bi-weekly to 90 hours/ Bi-weekly. Does this experience even qualify to submit in the profile? If yes, How do I calculate the hours?


Thanks everyone in advance.

Thanks everyone in advance.

You need 52 weeks of full time work.

For your full time work experience, each week where you worked 30 hours or more is counted as 1 week towards teh 52 weeks.

For any weeks where you only had part time experience (i.e. less than 30 hours), add up all of your part time hours and divide by 30.

Add the two above numbers together. If you have 52 weeks, then you have 1 year of work experience.
