So my concern is i have applied for CEC and received my application number in september. I started work on july 2 2013 and completed my one year in 2014 and i included the paystub until July 4 2014. Although my application was received on July 17 2014 and i still work for the same company. I had 4 week paid vacation and i covered up for those extra days basically i worked extra so that i can get that extra week off. I am originally entitled for 3 week paid vacation and whatever extra i worked extra for those hours and i work 37.5 min every week. My concern is should i send CEC paystubs after July 17 as well so that it does not look i am have no completed my one year or has anyone been in the same situation and still got their PR approved?

So you had 4 weeks of paid vacation? I heard they allow paid vacations but only up to 2 weeks. I'm not 100% sure of this so you better check that out yourself. I don't think you can make that up by working extra hours in the other weeks of the year, so this might be a problem for you.

The work period has to be at least 52 weeks, no less!

So even you work 50 hours any week, you cannot use those extra hours and add them to get the full 1560 hours.

You need to have worked 1560 hours in total AND have completed 52 weeks in that occupation, not either/or, both terms have to be satisfied for the 1-year full time eligibility

so what if we have worked 5 months part time and 10 months FT.. would we be eligible? considering we have completed 1560 hours?

Just wondering where do you get the 52 weeks from ? Cause I think 52 weeks is 13 months usually and one year only 12

If your application was received on July 17, NOTHING you did after that date can be considered.

You don't say when your letter of employment was written, but the date at the top of that will be the "end point" that the VO will use to calculate your experience. The letter has to attest to the full term of the employment period that you want the VO to consider.

You don't say whether you earn an hourly wage or are paid a salary, or whether the vacation time was mentioned in your letter of employment.

It's possible that it will be OK, it's possible that you will have a problem. We don't have the right details at this point to suggest one way or another.

You should start a new thread (or search the old ones), this is considered "hijacking" someone else's thread.

For your full-time job, you do not count hours. You can count the number of weeks, using the exact start and end dates - Let's say it was 42 weeks. So you need at least 10 more weeks.

You count hours only for part-time work (fewer than 30 hours per week), you add up the hours, and divide by 30 to get the full-time equivalent in terms of weeks.

If you then have at least 52 weeks combined, then you qualify.

For the duration you were on vacations.. what did the salary slips mentioned as the # of hours on them? if they have deducted the # of hours and show less on salary slips then perhaps could be an issue.. but if salary slips mention complete hours then may be its not an issue.

I did't realized that people actually replied to my post, ok so i work for a Financial institute, not going to mention the name of the bank but it is one of the five major bank and my vacation was just regular on the paystub, it is not deducted. i recieved regular paystubs for that month. My only concern is because on the travel document it says i was away for four week, but that vacation is part of my job i am entitled according to my position so i am just worried, anyways will see what will happen.
