Hi! I am applying under CEC and I have foreign work experience, do they count the hours per week as well? Like the same as Canadian experience of 30/week? Or as long as you have the 1560 hours completed? I had 2 jobs within a year, but I had a gap of 2 weeks in between jobs. So basically, I wouldn't complete the 52 weeks. But I do have the 1560 hours completed. Thanks!

It should be 30 hours per week for 52 weeks to be counted as 1 year work experience.

You can count this as part time work. You’ll only be able to claim 2 years though, as your short by a 9 months to claim another year.

Not sure. IRCC asks for the exact work hours per week. If it helps, add an LOE to explain how many hours you render in a week to make it clear. Just my 2 cents. Wait for others.

Hi Everyone,

I hope all of you are having a great weekend.
I am a CEC applicant in Express entry.I have One year continous work experience in canada with required and qualified NOC.
I want to claim points for the foreign work experience but I have a small doubt
Company A- Business Development Executive-9 months
Company B- Associate-Business Excellence-4 months
Both the jobs have similar job duties and I have gap of month(which is fine as I have conitnous one year experience in canada).

So Can claim points for my foreign experience with different NOCs?or I can modify them to be the same

Thanks

Hello bro, I am in the same situation as you... did you get it ? did you manage to pass the eligibility with canadain and foreign work experience in two different NOCs ?
