1. In regards to this 2.5 weeks of unpaid vacation, I would really advise you to call CIC and ask. Also, maybe someone here can answer better then me. At the end of last year they changed conditions for CEC in regards to how much of working experience you need to have. Before changes you had to have 2 years of full time work experience and it was minimum 3900 working hours. And they changed to one year but I can not find what is the correct minimum number of working hours. They say minimum 12 months with minimum 30 hours per week (that is 6 hours per day) and would be 1440 hours (one month has 4 weeks). When I applied for CEC I had over 18 month of continuous full time work experience, I also included in my application all of my pay stubs which contain exact number of payed working hours.ljiljka007 said:My vacation was not paid, thats why I am asking. I do work betweek 36-40 hours per week, but I had 2,5 weeks of unpaid vacation. Didnt think that would be a problem at the time :-/
And I asked, can I apply just for BOPW just 2 days after I apply for PR under CEC?!
I have just one more question. My husband is with me in Canada, and he will apply with me for PR. Can he apply for BOPW also?! His work permit also expired on sep30th
