Hello everyone,
I have 6yrs part-time job experience as Accounts assistant, from backhome UAE, paid in cash (unfortunately no slips available). However I can provide the reference letter from the employer with details of the job and reason for part-time employment for 6yrs.
What's the equivalent of those 6yrs part time job in Canada if I had to put it in my Express entry? Should I include it in Express entry profile or not?
I did put it in my student visa application as I came as an International student to Canada.
Please advice.
Thank you

Divide your working hours for the past six years by 1560.
The answer will be your part time work experience in years.

Thank you for your response.
If u can advice on another question of mine, that will be of great help.
I have 2 yrs Associates degree in Business from UAE, and a 2yrs Diploma from a Canadian Institution.
I did my WES evaluation for 2yrs Associates degree from UAE, and WES evaluated it as Canadian equivalency to 2yrs Diploma.
Will I get any points for backhome 2yrs Associates degree (based on WES evaluation) PLUS points for Canadian 2yrs diploma?

Oh. From what I know, to claim points for having two or more diplomas, one of the two has to be for a program that required at least 3 years to complete.

However, the combination of your qualifications is quite different (2 years abroad, 2 years Canada). So just try to go through the permutations here:

It should tell you how much you can score.
If the pairing you have has an equivalent score, just submit your ECAs for both diplomas to back up your claim.
