How to calculate my work experience ?

Hello

I am a retail pharmacist from Egypt. I am applying for the FSW (express entry) program.
I had been working at the same pharmacy for almost 2 years but with different working hours per week, but under the same NOC 3131.

So my work experience is as following:

Full time: December 2013 to June 2014 (48h/week)
Part-time (during my military service): July 2014 to September 2015 (18h/week)
Full time: October 2015 to January 2015 (48h/week)

some consultants said working hours are irrelevant and maxed at 30h/week ( for full time ) and the rest will not be counted. so both 30h/week and 48h/week will be counted the same as a 1 full-time week.

1) So how long is my work experience?
2) will my part-time job during my military service be counted? or they will not consider any work experience during the military service?

Thanks in advance

48 hours will be counted the same as 30 hours. Each of these weeks is only 1 week of work experience no matter how many hours you worked. Yes - you can count your part time work experience. Add up the total number of part time hours worked and divide by 30 to get the number of full time weeks.

I can't tell you that based on the information you have provided.

You'll need to do the calculation yourself taking into account the specific dates you started and ended each role.

Ok thank you
Regarding the second point, my military service.
I heard that being recruited to the military means i cant do any other part-time work since cic considers the military service as a full time job so this is considered as overlap

Is that true ?

Sorry - I don't know anything about that. Hopefully others will comment.
