Work hours Calculation

[torontoaug]

I have worked for an organization from 4th June 2012 to 30th August 2013.During this period, I have worked 40 hours per week (weekly 5days).
However, I was on leave (NO Pay) in between 9th Dec 2012 and 10th Feb 2013.
I have received my AOR and it says that my application was received on 3rd of August 2013 and I am not sure that how to calculate my work hours for eligibility.

Could you please let me know whether I am safe or not?

When did you submit your application?

It's not the number of hours you need to be worried about - it's if you have enough weeks. You need 52 weeks to qualify. You can't count the weeks you didn't work because you were unpaid. And each of the weeks you worked 40 hours only counts as 1 week (you can't transfer the extra hours you worked to another week).

So the question is when did you apply?

Thanks a lot for your inputs !!

I have applied on 30th July 2013 and the application has been reached on 31st July 2013.
In my AOR email it says that they received it on August 2nd 2013.

I get the same numbers as you - 4 June 2012 to 8 December 2012 = 27 weeks, 11 February 2013 to 2 August 2013 = 25 weeks, total 52 weeks.

However: it's the date your employment reference letter was written (July sometime?), not the date your application package arrived (August 2), that is going to count in the work experience calculation.

They can't just assume, for example, that your full-time employment there continued uninterrupted until 2 August. For all they know, you might have resigned from your job the day after the letter was written.
