Yes, you're eligible as long as you haven't counted more than 30 hours per week in a 12 month period
Thank you very much for your reply, you gave me hope.

Just wanted to clarify, when you say 30 hours per week, do you mean each week or on average per year.
Because some weeks let's say I have worked 50 hours and some weeks I have worked 20 hours. Do I average them or only take 30 out the 30+hours ones.

Also, does this apply to both jobs before and after my PGWP.
As a note: during my study, my job was during summertime, so I was eligible to work full time then.

Thanks!

Based on what they've stated you cannot accumulate 1560 hrs in less than a year, hence regardless of the hours worked per week, max 30 hours would only count. so weeks that you've worked 40 hrs you count 30 and weeks you've worked 20 you count 20 until it all adds up to 1560 hours over the period of time you have worked.

However, going back to the guide nothing has been mentioned about hours over 30 won't be counted and they've only stated it should have been accumulated over a 12 month period for part-time so you should be good!

Work experience (for non-healthcare essential stream)
You need 1 year of work experience (at least 1,560 hours) in the past 3 years. Unlike your current employment, which can be in any job, your experience needs to be in one or more eligible occupations.

Your work experience must include
  • most of the main duties and all the essential duties listed in your National Occupational Classification (NOC)
  • the activities listed in the lead statement of your NOC
You can see which duties are involved by searching your job title on the NOC web page.

To calculate your hours of work experience
  • count the hours worked in part-time and full-time jobs
  • don’t count hours you weren’t paid for (volunteering and unpaid internships don’t count)
  • don’t count hours when you were self-employed
    • Exception: Count hours when you worked as a medical doctor in a fee-for-service arrangement with a health authority

Hello,
I am currently working for a company. I got a job offer which is much more better and related to my field of study and I signed it a few days ago.

Do you think that could be an issue if I quit my current job 5 days before the start work of the new position?

Thank you in advance

Is this a concern for your PR or your professional life?
For PR stuff I don't see any issue changing jobs. You might want to update you Application thou.

For you professional life... it's usually common courtesy to give your current employer a 2 weeks notice. Unless you have something stated on your contract.

Thanks for your answer. I mean in terms of the gap in my employment for the program (international graduates).
