How much were you making? Because this can help you appropriate the number of hours. Was that your sole income? Were you able to sustain yourself on that income? Were you working the same hours as a regular guy would do? If not, the periods you were not working full-time or on low income will be considered as unemployed. So, work by reverse engineering this.

Thank you Visaowl.

I am currently working here in Canada and already have 1 year and 3 months experience. I am entering information in my EE profile under work experience. I have some work experience back home that I was a self employed. I am confused about the field "hours per week"in the online form since I am only working on project based job which was no time frame for every project. Say for Month of January, I only work for a week, and working hours was not necessary then February was no work at all.

maybe this link will help you:-
But I would guess that you were unemployed for that period. I think CIC only considers self employed experience in only certain categories.

similar question,

If i have some work experience for which I cannot show income or get a proof of employment since that company is long closed in a different country - Should i still list it and now show employment proof, or should I not list it at all as i dont want to claim credit for it ?

Reason i ask is, I am nominated for MPNP and sent the PR file. It asked to list last 10 years employment in one of the forms and i listed that company since I was being truthful. However i cannot seem to get in touch with anyone or any HR department that might have existed

Thanks
 
Hi Visaowl -That is ok if CIC will not accept it. I am just bothered if there will be some discrepancy with my current profile in CIC if I will not put it because when I applied for work permit back home i put these work experiences.

Now, i do not know what to do :(

Hello all,

I have a question regarding the experience at home: I've completed 13 months of experience (july to july), but during two of theses months (september and may), I could only work half-time, cause I had to take some courses on the side. That being said the total of hours is still above 1560 and during all that time, I did the same occupation for the same employer.

So does that still count as one year?

Thx

I may not be right, but i think you can use your income tax report as a proof

It was unpaid work - no paystubs or income tax documents, was fresh out of college for experience. Do i still have to list it ?
