Hello,

I was working in Canada:
2014.03.23 - 2014.06.01 full time
2014.06.01 - 2014.10.30 full time and part time in second job
2014.10.30 - 2015.03.07 full time.

In total I have more than 1560 hours worked during this period. Can I count it as one year full time work experience or not?

Thank you.

No, you need a full year, 52 weeks, 365 days.

He will have full week in 2 weeks,
Each person eligible for 1 month of paid vacation each year.
If he could get vacation now he could submit his profile with 1 year experience

1. Not in Canada, 2 weeks is normal for first year or 4% of salary. Still needs to be an employee on the 365th day.

He could get vacation pay for last 2 weeks even he is not employed. It is still counted towards employment.
Guy did not wrote that he moved out of Canada, he only wrote that he was working.

Anyway the main question. Does the guy have ROE for each job?

He could apply even with experience that he have.
I gave him 50/50 chance to be accepted. 2 weeks of vacation could be counted if he was paid.

It is pity that in Canada vacation pay is 2 weeks only.
In my 4 years work in Germany I had 1 month of paid vacation every year.
My friend in France has 2 month of paid vacation.
45 working days-and this just after graduation

What were the NOCs? That is the most important question here.

And yes paid vacation is counted as experience.

Just looked at your dates, unfortunately no this won't be counted as one year of experience. It has be full 52 weeks; and you are falling short of it. 1560 hours is not the sole requirement.

I have been working in a firm since sept 2015 till date. During this period i was working as a part time employee for 7 months last year . ( Have resumed office full time again since this year)
Now the experience letter which i recieved from the company states that i have been working with them since sept 2015 and i am a full time employee.
Nothing about part time is mentioned. Should i keep it that way only? Because showing part time experience will reduce my work experience and thus lower my crs.
Or should i mention the part time in my experience letter?
My full time is 48 hours per week
N when i was working for part time my working hours were 24 hours per week.
