Work experience Calculation

[mrinalbh]

Hello All,
I wanted some clarification on how the points for work experience gets calculated.
I started working from July 16 2019 (Tuesday) - July 15 2022 (Friday), upon calculating my weeks I get 156 weeks 3 days which isn't 3 years Tool Used, but I read that they look month to month so July 2019-July 2022 coming to 3 years.
How else can I calculate this, and what should I select for my EE profile?

Thank You!

You need 52 weeks * at least 30 hours per week for each year or equivalent part-time hours. So you are fine to count that as 3 years

Okay so based off that thats 1560 hrs per year, and I suppose since I work 40 hrs a week this time frame should suffice? Thanks again!

They only count maximum of 30 hrs/week for calculation. So it doesn't matter if you worked 40 hours, it is only gonna be counted upto 30.

FEDERAL SKILLED WORKERS
Your skilled work experience must be

• in the same type of job (have the same NOC) as the job you want to use for your immigration application (called your primary occupation)
• within the last 10 years
• paid work (have been paid wages or earned commission—volunteer work or unpaid internships don’t count)
• at least 1 year of continuous work or 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 work: for example 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
    • You can work as many part-time jobs as you need to meet this requirement
  • 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
Your skilled work experience must be paid work including paid wages or earned commission. IRCC don’t count volunteer work or unpaid internships.
For part-time work, you can work more or less than 15 hours/week as long as it adds up to 1,560 hours. You can work more than 1 part-time job to get the hours you need to apply.
IRCC don’t count any hours you work above 30 hours/week.


CANADIAN EXPERIENCE CLASS
A minimum of 1 year of skilled work experience in Canada, in the last 3 years before you apply—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 work: for example 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
  • You can work as many part-time jobs as you need to meet this requirement.
• full-time work at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
• have gained your work experience by working in Canada while under temporary resident status with authorization to work
