A question on work experience points in OINP

[zaksam777]

Hi all,

I would be really grateful if you could help me with this. The OINP guide says that you have to have a minimum of one year experience in last five years. OINP conditions are as follows:

Work Experience
- at least one year (1,560 hours total) of continuous full-time (minimum of
30 hours/week for 12 months) or an equal amount in continuous part-time
(minimum of 15 hours/week for 24 months or 30 hours/week for 1
- within the last five years from the date of the Notification of Interest
from Ontario.


Points are awarded as follows:
Experience Maximum Points
1 year (minimum of 12 months) 9 points
2 to 3 years (24 to 36 months) 11 points
4 to 5 years (48 to 60 months) 13 points
6 or more years (72 months or more) 15 points

My situation:
I have a total experience of seven years in my last two jobs.
Current job:
Starting date: June 04, 2012 - Total countable complete years - 04 years
Last job:
Starting date: April 01, 2008- Date of leaving - October 31, 2011 - Total countable complete years - 03 years

I have an unemployment period of eight months between these two jobs.

Now my question is that am I eligible to claim work experience points for six years as stated above which are 15 points?

Thank you!

yes you will fall into 15 points bracket - this is subject to all the required document like reference letter, pay slip , etc

Hi heynow

Some countries we don't have pay stubs and the reference letter doesn't mention hours worked per week. The officer has to call and ask the supervisor. will this create problems in my application?

In the absence of pay stubs you can show bank statements and income tax documents.

My reference letters don't mention salary or number of hours - so I'll be writing a letter of explanation and adding documents like work contracts and offer letter.

Good luck.
