That's not what I meant. What I questioned was that in a 12 month period of time, you need to do 1560 hours. For example, see here
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp for the Federal skilled workers program. Similarly, for the skilled trade program it lists the same
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/trades/apply-who.asp. Lastly, for the CEC
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/cec/apply-who.asp it states even more explicitly "12 months of full-time work 30 hours/233k for 12 month - 1 year full time (1,560 hours)"
Since for all 3 EE programs, 1560 or MORE, in a 12 month period is considered full time, I would think that if you met the 1,560 hours (in the Dec 30, 2015 to Dec 29, 2016 time period) would be sufficient. However, as long as you can prove (have paperwork from the firm) you worked the dates you sent, even though it was the last of December and the first of November, I don't see how just accepting their conclusion is wrong. You did not lie. You entered in the months you worked. Now, if hire date was Dec 30 and start date was Jan 4th, that is a different story. and then refer to first sentence of this paragraph. I would argue on both grounds. So if I were in this situation I would proceed. You can always call someone that works there
1 - You are still assuming for calculation purposes that the applicant can claim more than 30 hours per week. Saying "1560 or MORE" is simply not possible as the maximum hours that can be achieved in a year are 1560 - 52 weeks times 30 hours per week.
2 - OP is short of 3 years of work experience by 2 months, you are suggesting he can proceed but you're still failing to understand the he must work for a period of 3 years. Does it not make sense that in order to claim 3 years of work experience one must work for 3 years?
3 - A reasonable period of paid vacations can be counted as part of work experience (not relevant to the topic but still)
4 - I actually commend you for trying to do the research but unfortunately if the OP proceeds it will only grant him a nice rejection letter. This isn't even a complicated case, you're free to ask any senior here and the response will be the same.
5 - Finally I will provide a rejection letter from an applicant who was naive in claiming two years of work experience by counting more than 30 hours per week and without working for a period of two years:
""I have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of
the Canadian Experience Class and have determined that you do not meet the requirements for
immigration to Canada.
Section 11.2 of IRPA requires that information provided in your Express Entry Profile concerning your
eligibility to be invited to apply (10.3(1)(e)) as well as the qualifications on the basis of which you were
ranked (10.3(1)(h)) be valid both at the time the invitation was issued and at the time the application for
permanent residence is received.
Citizenship and Immigration Canada invited you to apply for permanent resident status based on the
qualifications you claimed in your Express Entry profile.
In your Express Entry profile you indicated that you possess 2 years of Canadian work experience as
defined under Section 1 of the Ministerial Instructions Respecting the Express Entry System.
Based on the documentation submitted with your application for permanent residence I am not satisfied
you possess 2 years of Canadian work experience.
This change in your qualifications resulted in a loss of points that brought your rank below the lowest
ranking person who was invited to apply in your round of invitation, under the Express Entry
Comprehensive Ranking System.""
