Full time to part time calculation

[csadangi]

Asking for a friend.

My friend worked 20 hours part time for 2.5 year and when we converted it to full time it came out to be 1.6 years so he added 1 year of foreign work experience. Is the calculation correct?

20 hours * 52 week/year * 2.5 years/1560 (hours equivalent to full time) = 1.6 years.

Please verify @shannonxtreme & others.

The calculation seems right but foreign experience? The hourly calculation is applicable to Canadian work experience only, I think.

Thanks. I didn't get your point.

You get 15 or 20 points for foreign work experience if you have worked full time or equivalent part time.

@jes_ON your thoughts?

Not sure what you mean by "added foreign work experience." You cannot add foreign hours to Canadian hours - foreign and Canadian work experience has to be calculated separately - but that doesn´t seem to be what you did.

But your calculations appear to be roughly correct. You should count the exact number of weeks worked, but it won´t really make a difference. Your friend will get credit for one year of FTE (Canadian?) work , based on what you have shown.

No, foreign and Canadian experience are calculated the same way, just separately.

What I meant to say was that he is calculating his foreign work experience separately and Canadian separately. I think “added” was the wrong term to use .

So he is getting points for his work he did in Australia as foreign (25 points) and also 2 years of canadian experience (guess 40 points). I hope that makes sense and I hope that’s ok to do.

The calculation I showed was only for his foreign work experience where he worked 20 hours/week for 2.5 year.

AH, LOL, makes sense now

Yes, it is a good thing to add the foreign work experience. Of course that means he will have to provide documentation.

Clear, now : ) . But again, the denominator in the calculation is the WEEK, not the YEAR. To be precise, you need to describe it in terms of the number of weeks worked.
