In canada.ca website, under "Eligibility to apply as a Federal Skilled Worker (Express Entry)", it is mentioned that the person must have 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:

1. full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
2.
equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
3.
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)

What's the difference between point 1 and 3? Need your help guys!!!!
Each reply would be helpful for me and maybe for others as well.

So, point 3. means, accumulating 1 year experience in same field from two different companies or what?
No.
It means that even if you have two simultaneous jobs, working in both of them for 30h/week at the same time won't make you reach the minimum requirement faster.
In other words, you need to work one year, no matter how many jobs you have.
30 hours in a job and 30 hours in another simultaneous job won't count as 60h/week.
That's how I understand it.
