Part-time 20 hours/week or 15 hours/week?

[dastanmo]

Hi,

I have been working as a Research/Teaching Assistant (NOC 4012) for 20 hours/week. However, everywhere on the CIC and provincial (OINP) website, they mention one must have at least one year (1560 hours total) or an equal amount in continuous part-time (minimum of 15 hours/week for 24 months) in order to be eligible. If I had worked 20 hours per week, could I have met this minimum eligibility criteria in 18 months? Or if I worked part-time, I can only count 15 hours per week out of the 20 I had worked?

The guides also mention I must have worked minimum of 15 hours/week. During my career, there was a time when I was working as a Research Assistant (NOC 4012) for 13.5hours/week and at the same time as a Teaching Assistant (NOC 4012) for 6.5 hours/week. In total, I was working 20 hours/week at the same time however individually these were less than 15 hours/week. Can I still count both these positions towards my work experience?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Yes, you can count any number below 30 hours per week as part-time experience.

Yes, you can add both part-time positions and count 20 hours/week.

Hello,

I have been working for 3 Years at 8 hours average a week, and whereas I also have 8 month additional work experience at the same workplace for 20 Hours a week. I input these details in my EE profile and its showing that I am eligible. Is there a minimum work hours limit for part-time work experience?
