Hi there,
I am considering to apply under CEC for Express Entry. I have some questions about my work experience.

1. I have worked a total of 3 jobs under category B. The first job had some issues and in 2 pay stubs (1 Month) I didn't receive full 60 hours (It was biweekly). So my question is that can I consider those 4 weeks in my experience? If not then can I consider only 2 weeks out of them or I just can't consider 1 month of experience.

2. As I said I have worked 3 jobs, in that 1st was for 5 months (Including the problematic month explained above) and I am working in the 3rd job right now. I have only worked 1 month at the 2nd job so can I count that experience towards my points?? All of the jobs I just explained were category B.

3. I am turning 30 years old in November 2020. I am not sure about what age point I will get if I submit my profile before my birthday and receive an invitation after my birthdate.

Please help me regarding these questions and Thank you in advance.
 
You can count all hours you can document with a letter from the employer, up to 30 hours a week.

Your points for age automatically go down on your birthday until you receive an ITA, which locks your profile.

1. Weeks are irrelevant, what you need to count is hours worked per week up to a maximum of 30 each week. You need to add 1560 hours this way, that is why you need at least 52 weeks of work experience (52*30=1560).... if you worked less than 30 hours any given week it will just take you longer to reach the minimum 1560 hours to be eligible for CEC.

2. Doesn't matter, you can count everything, just need to prove each period of work experience separately. Everything is valid.

3. What counts is the age you had at the time your received the ITA, the date you create the profile is irrelevant. Your points for age will not be reduced if your birthday happens anytime AFTER you receive an ITA. Anything pre-ITA will affect your score.
