- By day. In the three years prior to the day you submit your application, you must have at least one year of full time work experience that falls entirely within that 3 year period.
- The onus is on the applicant. If IRCC has doubts that you have the required number of hours / required number of weeks, they can request further evidence in the form of pay slips, etc. Note that any hours above 30 hours a week cannot be counted to make up additional work experience. Basically this means you need to have 52 separate weeks within the last 3 years before you apply where you worked at least 30 hours in each of those weeks.
Gotcha! that clears up a lot. Thanks!
