Hi guys,

I have the following issue I was hoping to get some advice on. I have 59 weeks for the CEC and am excluding 6 whole weeks that I was abroad for work. I'm excluding those and am left with 53.

I work 40 hours a week, so I would only need 4 days of eligible work a week (8*4 = 32 hours)

Here's my issue with 2 of those 53 weeks- I have one week (Feb 12th-15th) where I worked 3 days in Canada and then worked 2 days remotely in the US. I have another week (May 21st to May 25h) where I worked 4 days in Canada but caught a flight to the US the same day (Thursday) and then started 6 days of vacation on Friday, May 25th.

Would a VO give credit for that whole week of May 24th? Would it matter if I flew the same day to the US? If so, could any of the 3 days from the week of Feb 12th compensate?

So you can count 24 hours for the Feb week and 30 hours for the May week which total 54/30=1.8 equivalent weeks
51+1.8=52.8weeks. You should be OK.
If you are concerned about the work day then flight on the same day give IRCC an explanation in the LOE section of your PR application.

Thanks a ton! Really hoping they actually check time of flight so it shows I left after a full day of work. This is such a stupid issue but this is all the time I could give myself before applying.
