CEC: Calculating work hours

[Hitomi26]

Hi there, I have a question about the CEC work hour calculation.
I know you can add up some part-time experience that extends over the duration of 1 year, to meet the required hours (30 hours/week x 1 year).

I got an ITA for PR through CEC, and want to make sure that I have enough work hours.
In 2016, from January to August, I was working at Company A for the following hours:
Jan 12 - Mar 7, 28 hours/week (=8 weeks)
Mar 8 - Aug 26, 35 hours/week

Then I got a new job at Company B:
Aug 29 - present (Feb 1, 2017), 35-40hours/week

I know any time above 30 hours is not counted. That said, if I understand the rules correctly, the only missing hours from Jan 12, 2016 to Jan 11, 2017 are:
2 hours (30 hours - 28 hours) x 8 weeks (Jan 12 - Mar 7) = 16 hours
And because it's already been 3 weeks after my 1 year mark, these missing hours are met (within 3 days).

Please verify if my understanding is correct.
Thank you!

Hello ,

I have a query,I have foreign work experience (Not canadian) where I worked from Oct 2015 to July 2017(1 Year 10 months),In my offer letter it has been written 42.5 as the number of working hours per week.So My query is If I calculate the number of hours during my job tenure It will exceed 1560*2 that is more than 2 yrs as what it is written the canadian websitel.So my foreign work experience would be counted as 1 year or 2 years?
Currently my Canadian experience is 8 months and in 4 months I have to apply for Express entry. and I would have more points if I would add 2 yrs of foreign work experience rather than 1 year .
Kindly reply.

If you worked Oct 2015 to July 2017 - this will be counted as 1 year of work experience only. You'll only get credit for a maximum of 30 hours worked per week no matter how many hours you worked. Extra hours cannot be carried over to create additional work experience. You cannot claim credit for 2 years - only 1 year.

You need to work another 4 months to say you have 1 year of Canadian work experience.
