Work experience count issue

[mh10]

Hello folks ,
I am under my work permit and hoping to apply for PR under CEC category express entry
But i have 2 concerns ,

1) I graduated on april 2016 , however i got my work permit issued from june 2016
So should i count houra from april or june ?

2) within my work permit term, i had to visit backhome since my mom was sick and it was almost 7 weeks

Do u think it might effect anything ?

I managed to hit 1560 hours that calender year tho , just there was a gap since i was out of canada


TIA

Do you have 52 week of work where you worked at least 30 hours each week? (You can't count the 7 weeks you were outside of Canada.)

1 - When did you apply for a PGWP? Were you working full-time before applying for such permit?

2 - You cannot count unpaid work experience as valid work experience.

Also, if you're working full-time the hours worked per week are irrelevant, you must work for a period of one year in order to claim a year of work experience.

Hi there , thank you for the response

So for the first question’s answer :

I graduated april 19 and applied for my work permit on may 2nd .however , i got my work permit on june 28

So should i count hours from may 2nd ?


And for the 2nd question:

I am not counting the unpaid work experience but is that okay to have a break within work experience period ? (I fulfilled 1560 hours but as i said i was in backhome)
Or it has to be straight work ( no vacation )

Thank you

1 - You can count work experience starting may 2nd.
2 - You are still making the mistake of "counting hours" no such thing as fulfilling 1560 hours for full-time work experience. You have either worked for a period of one year (30 hrs +) or you haven't.

Work experience need not be continuous under the CEC program.

Hey bud, so yeah then i will be started counting from may 2nd

And for the 2nd concern , “you have either worked for a period of one year or you havent” . So,In a year from may 2016 to may 2017 , i didnt work 7 weeks ( sept 2016 to august 2016 ) ,is that okay ?
Can i count that year as 1 year full time work experience ?

Thank u

If unpaid work leave then absolutely not.

If paid work leave then maybe. It is a considerable amount of time off work within a year so there is no guarantee the processing officer will accept this as valid work experience.

- Can I count work experience gained while waiting for PGWP after completing my studies toward CEC? If yes, do I need to submit any document to CIC showing that this experience was gained while waiting for pgwp?
- I worked full time for 2 years but went to my home country twice for a month each. Is it going to be a problem?
