Dear Seniors
I am temporary foreign worker working currently employed in Canada in NOC O.
I have been in employment since September 20, 2016. My understanding is my one year will be completed on the same date ( September 20, 2017 ).My employment has been consistent and I accumulated 1650 hours in 48 weeks averaging 34 hours per week.If the same pace kept, the total number of hours would be approx 1770 in 52 hours averaging more than 34 hours per week.
My concerns are as follow
1.I took two weeks off at the beginning of this year(2017) due to child birth.
2.I took 10 days off recently due to some family commitment outside Canada, however, I I did work remaining 3 days of the week accumulating 25 hours.(Should I work 3 or 4 weeks more to cover the absence period )
3.Funds requirement if I am applying from outside Canada for the family of 4 where one child is Canadian
4.What is the current processing time for express entry CEC applicants

Many Thanks

Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
1 and 2 - "An allowance for a reasonable period of vacation time will generally be made in calculating the period of qualifying work experience (e.g., a two-week period of paid vacation leave within a given 52-week period in which the applicant was engaged in qualifying work experience). An allowance for normal vacation time during a period of qualifying work experience cannot be used as a substitute or proxy for meeting the in-Canada element of the work experience requirement (i.e., work experience obtained outside Canada will not be considered as though the applicant had been on a period of vacation in order to be counted as part of the period of in-Canada work experience). While officers will account for a reasonable period of vacation time in calculating the period of qualifying work experience in Canada, each application is considered on its own merits with a final decision based on a review of all the information available to the officer at the time of decision."

3 - No POF required if you're a CEC applicant.
4 - Check immigration trackers to get an idea.

Thanks for your input.
I was trying to get my diploma (one year) evaluated but there is no option for a diploma on WES.
Can anyone advise how do we go about it?
