First of all , thanks in advance :)
My question is :
- I am a part time worker by contract- 20 hours a week but I pick up lots of extra shifts. Let's say that within one year I worked full time hours, even though I am a part time worker, is it enough to apply for the Canadian experience program ? Or i I still need to work 2 years ? Thank you

It depends.

You can count up to 30 hours for each week. Do that for every individual week and keep adding those hours.

The moment they add up to 1560 hours, you eligible to apply under CEC.

Because you can only count up-to 30 hours /week, you need to have worked for at least 52 weeks (= 1 year).

Only you can know the answer to your question because you know how many hours you've worked each week.

IRCC defines part-time work as fewer than 30 hours per week. If you work 30 or more hours in a given week, IRCC considers that to be a full-time week (it does not matter if your employer calls it part-time, IRCC makes its own rules).

You need 52 weeks of full-time, or full-time equivalent (FTE) experience.

I would suggest making a spreadsheet of all weeks worked, and hours worked per week.

For any week that you have 30 or more hours, you count a maximum of 30 hours.

For any week that you have part-time hours (fewer than 30), you simply count the hours. Add them up and divide by 30, that will give you your FTE number of weeks. When you have 52 (which by definition will take longer than one calendar year, if you have any part-time weeks), then you meet the one year requirement.

Possibly 1243, Medical Admin Asst,
https://noc.esdc.gc.ca/Structure/NocProfile/b9414f0f14de4d3cba71323cafc5d353?objectid=jktTJv4c/SkmJ3K9rIc/q4sArm6j4cNqLufEpLtzvrKsiTWYVjG1H3ks/b++8djR

However, without knowing your full job description, it's hard to tell.

Would suggest asking your HR person, they usually will know.
