WORKING HOURS ISSUE CEC

[Tyler1212]

Hi Everyone,

I am working as a Shipping Coordinator (NOC B) since last December, however, there are some gaps I could not work in that period which is about 1 or 1.5 months. I do have a couple of question

1) According to my counting, I did work 16 or 17 hours for 2 or 3 weeks but not in a row so far. Are we counting these weeks as part-time which is 0.5 weeks?

2) I am willing to apply for CEC class. For entering the pool, do I have to wait until completing 1 year or I do not have to wait for 1 year because for the 1st application, there are no requirements or we don't have to show any proof about the 1-year experience.

I would appreciate, if you give me a advice or if you could answer these questions

Thank you,

Taylan

This is how you calculate the 1 year of work experience:

1) For any week where you worked 30 hours or more - count this as 1 week
2) For any weeks where you worked fewer than 30 hours - add up the total part time hours and divide by 30

If the two numbers above added together equal 52 or more, then you can claim a year of work experience.

What about the application, should I wait until completing 1 year or I can apply even if I don’t complete 1 year full work

Thanks

Are you eligible to apply to Express Entry without the Canadian experience included. If so, yes.

You can create your EE profile earlier. However if you get ITA before you have 1 year of Canadian work experience, make sure you don't submit your complete application until after you have the 1 year.

Hi,

I'd ask 1 more question. My Paystub always indicates 2 weeks period. For instance, Between Oct 12 - Oct 25 I worked 45 hours but I dunno How many hours I worked 1st week and the 2nd week. How can I calculate for this case because I do have some working hours like that and I only know the total hours which means 2 week period?

Thank you
