Work experience letter and hours calculation

[Preet2717]

Hello guys,
Asking for someone......
Can someone guide if the work experience letter should include hours as well on it ?
And also is the work experience calculated on monthly basis ? If not then how is it calculated ?

Yes, your letter should indicate how many hours you worked.

Yes, your letter should indicate how many hours you worked.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
My exp letter mentions that I worked full time. But it does not say exact hours as the hours were not exactly the same everyday. But surely they were over 40 for whole week. Should I add it or just full time is fine ?
And also can you tell how does IRCC calculate our work exp ?
Does it have to be precisely 3 years as per calendar or is it hours that matter ?

thanks

• at least 1 year of continuous workor 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week)—you can meet this in a few different ways:
  • Full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
  • Equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
  • Full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

Part-time work experience

For part-time work, you can work more or less than 15 hours/week as long as it adds up to 1,560 hours.


We don’t count any hours you work above 30 hours/week.

Thanks a lot for such vital information. It was big help.
Can you also clear out one thing, that having written full time on work exp letter will work instead of hours or not ?

Thanks

As long as it's clear you worked more than 30 hours a week.
