Work hours calculation for CEC

[waipm2000]

Depends.

If you have 30 or more hours per week, then it is simply full-time, you do not need to count hours, you just need to work 52 weeks.

If you have fewer than 30 hours per week (and are part-time), then you simply add up the hours and divide by 30 - that will give you the number of full-time equivalent weeks.

If you have a combination of full and part-time weeks - you can
(a) count the full-time weeks, calculate the FTE of part-time work, and add together; or
(b) add up all your weeks, divide by 30 - but you cannot count more than 30 hours per week.

Example:

week 1: worked 20 hours - count 20 hours
week 2: worked 35 hours - count 30 hours
week 3: worked 15 hours, count 15 hours
week 4: worked 50 hours, count 30 hours

Worked 120 hours but can count 95 / 30 = 3.12 FTE weeks (always round down, 3 weeks).

You will obviously need records of the hours you worked.

Hi, thank you for your answer.

I have a question. What about paid sick leaves, vacation pay and stat pay or stat worked pay. do IRCC take them into their account as worked hours, please?

Appreciate your answer

You have not described your circumstances, so, same as everyone else. Read the proof of work experience section -

Thanks for your reply.

I am working from in NOC B from last Sep. it is a full-time permanent job.

One more question.

As I have a permanent job so will I get the job offer point under CEC, Please?
Thanks

No, having a job is not the same thing as having a valid job offer (of future employment).

I have fulltime 35 or more per week and worked for 1800 hours in 10 months. Does that work? Or is considered equivalent to 1 year fulltime as it’s more than 1560 hrs?

Or do we need 52 weeks full time for the counting?

No - it doesn't count. You need 52 separate weeks where you worked at least 30 hours.

It works as 10 months of full-time employment.

Or is considered equivalent to 1 year fulltime as it’s more than 1560 hrs?
No. It is 10 months, not 12 (or more accurately, 52 weeks).

Or do we need 52 weeks full time for the counting?
Yes.

If you have 30 or more hours per week, then it is simply full-time, you do not need to count hours, you just need to work 52 weeks.

If you have fewer than 30 hours per week (and are part-time), then you simply add up the hours and divide by 30 - that will give you the number of full-time equivalent weeks.

(a) count the full-time weeks, calculate the FTE of part-time work, and add together; or

week 2: worked 35 hours - count 30 hours
week 3: worked 15 hours, count 15 hours
week 4: worked 50 hours, count 30 hours

Worked 120 hours but can count 95 / 30 = 3.12 FTE weeks (always round down, 3 weeks).

You will obviously need records of the hours you worked.

Hi Jes,

So if I worked 3 days of a 40 hour week (as full time), would that be 24/30 = 0.8 of a week? Or is that 0 because of rounding down?

Hi Jes,

Assuming you worked 24 hours, yes.

Or is that 0 because of rounding down?
Depends if you're adding it to anything or not.

I don't know what rules of rounding IRCC follows : ) If you're adding two jobs and one is 40.8 weeks and another is 20. 4 weeks, I would say you worked 61 weeks. Otherwise, round down to # of complete weeks to be "safe."

What if I have 2 separate weeks with 3 days each = 1 week? Is that possible?

Depends on hours worked. If you worked 30 or more hours in those 3 days, it still counts as a full-time week.

If you worked fewer than 30 hours (Say, you worked 8 hour days), then you would add up the part-time hours and divide by 30 -

24+24/30 = equivalent of 1 full-time week... (rounding down to complete weeks).

HI guys,
i have 2 part time jobs, one is 16 hrs/week and another is 10 hrs/week . On CIC website stated that for part time job: working 30 hrs /week for more than one job equivalent 1 full time job but my working hours for 2 jobs is less than 30 hrs and more than 15 hrs. How can i calculate my working hours for CEC? and how can i fill the hours on EE? is it ok if i fill 30 hrs/week for 52 weeks to get 40 points and attach explanation letter for my working hours.

I’ve a part-time job working 28 hours/week. I’ve worked about 1.5 years and crossed 1560 hours so I’m eligible for cec right??
