Work Experience for Express Entry

[Sm123456789]

Hello,

I am a graduate student and currently working full time for 40 hours/week. My employment started on September 9, 2019 and will end on August 18, 2020. I am planning to apply for express entry at the end of the August with this work experience.
As the requirement for express entry is 12 months 30 hours/week, am I eligible to apply for express entry for the duration of my work experience above?

CIC needs 12 full months (if worked full time) hence you need to gain 3 more weeks of experience. They will count only 30 hours of experience in a week.

Thanks for replying. They won’t consider even if I have completed 1560 hours?

As far as I know they count one calendar year. (52 weeks with 30 hr/week experience.)

When we work more than 30 hours, typically 37.5 hours/week or 40 hours/week they will only count 30 hours instead.

No - they definitely won't consider this as a year of work experience. You must have 52 full weeks.

Hey guys, I have working experience of 3 years and 1 month, 8 hours per day and 5 days per week. But the first year is the probation period which I still worked full time but receiving only 75% of the full salary. Do they count this probation period in my working experience, I mean can I have 3 years of working experience in total?

Hi! I have a clarification regarding my work experience

I was in a coop program, and I started working as part of my coop around Sept of 2021 for 20 hrs per week until Jan 2022. Will this be consider part time? and should I answer "Yes" on the questions "Studying full-time while doing this job? A person must be in class at least 15 hours per week during the academic year to be considered full-time. This includes any period of training in the workplace that is part of the study program "?

And from Jan 2022 until March 2022, I was able to work full time. Should I add two work experience under this company one being a part time while studying and the other one as full time without studying?

Hi, so in terms of the work experience I've gained while studying on a coop program and while studying a one year diploma should be included on my list of work experiences or should I just not list them? And only put on the list the work experience after receiving my PGWP?
