My seasonal job is not continuous, but it's more than one year work time. And I work for the same company.
Does it match the requirement of one year full time work?


What should people do if they are doing seasonal jobs?
(my job is in the NOC 0AB list).

if any one of the week of your work period is less than 30 hrs, you would count the actual hours. More than 30 hrs counts 30 hrs.
E.g.
Week 1: 40 hrs
Week 2: 21 hrs
Week 3: 34 hrs

For the 3 weeks, you have accumulated 30+21+30 hrs = 81 hrs

As long as you accumulated 1560 hrs, you have equivalent of 1 year

In such case, you would need to prove it by all your pay slips (Not only a T4)

Thank you for your answer.

The EE system will rate you. So the score really matters.
As you said, I'm qualified with the one year full time work requirement. But in EE system, I get 0 points due to my seasonal job is not continuous. That means I'm in the pool, but have a low score. Right? What should seasonal work employees do?

Does this mean if I work continuously for 2 seasonal full-time jobs (2 different companies) for 1560 hours (no gap in between), it will count toward 1 year of working experience in express entry?
I know this post was 5 years ago, but I'm in the same situation here, so I'm appreciate if anyone could clear this for me. Thanks in advance.
