Hello,

I have couple of queries regarding part time/full time experience for CEC:

A. Am I eligible to apply based upon my working hours :
  • Start date: 1st July 2019 as part time Mechanical Designer.
  • Working hours:
  1. July 41.65
  2. Aug 51
  3. Sep 50
  4. Oct 51
Total part time hours=193.65=6.45 weeks full time
  • Started working as Full time from November 2019 with same job title and pay
  • Working hours:
  1. Nov 130
  2. Dec 125
  3. Jan 140
  4. Feb 140
  5. Mar 70
  6. Apr 0 (no working hours due to covid19)
  7. May 98
  8. Jun 145
  9. July 139
  10. Aug 145
  11. Sep 150
  12. Oct 150
Total full time hours=1432==>taking max. 30 hours/week=44x30=1320.
Considering 2 full time weeks for November, total hour becomes=1573 for 52 weeks.

B. If I am eligible what value shall I put for Hours/week while completing Express Entry profile on CIC, since I have worked both part time as well as full time.

C. CIC defines part time as 15hr/week. Does any hours less than 15 also counts as part time work?

I would really appreciate If someone could answer even one of my query.



Please answer whichever you can.

IRCC definces part time as less than 30 hours per week.

This is how you need to do the calculation:

1) Every week you worked 30 hours or more is counted as 1 week towards your work experience (doesn't matter if you worked 30 or 40 or 60 hours).
2) For every week where you worked less than 30 hours, add up the total number of hours and then divide by 30.

When the two numbers above add up to 52, you have a year of work experience.

Thanks Scylla for your input. I did the same math.
Do you by any chance know, what number shall I put for Hours/week in my Express Entry profile?
