Experience can be calculated by adding up the number of weeks of full-time work, i.e. 37.5 hours per week in one job or a total of at least 37.5 hours per week in more than one job, in one or more of the NOC categories.

i know Qorax i might sound too irritated but are you 100% sure? i mean i have ALL our docs 100% READY and then got in to this confusion just 2 days ago. :-( .... so depressed i am. I spoke to one of Immigration agent and he said we qualify for Quebec SW class ... not FSW !! Was he interested in his fee only? and lied to me?

I hope you understand how i am feeling right now. So please be patience with me. I reallllllly appreciate your help and believe that you have some knowledge and experience through which you are advising me all this.

this above sentence is confusing. I have both jobs in same NOC. again i repeat 6 months FT paid job then 1 month gap (to pass interview, get selected and get appointed to the new place) and then 6 month FT paid job ... BUT BOTH JOBS ARE NOC 3112.

Qorax, i again highly regard your effort and patience. thanks

Hi there. I am not a senior member :) but i can advice you to apply ONLY when you get ALL your docs in hand. I know the cap is rising everyday but you can apply in the next caps i.e. July 2012 (if current is reached).

Hi Qorax This post has really been Informative for me all throughout the process.
I also got my Medicals, and passprt req.
I was seeing that after "MEDDEC" comes "OREQ" and "FINDEC" as per the CAIPS NOTES
Could you tell me what can we encounter in this stage "OREQ" And then in "FINDEC"?
Could you also tell me when can my employer expect a call from The CHC for verification. So that i can confirm him about being called. He tends to forget things. He says he has not got any calls till now. And neither have I.

1. OREQ could/may only occur if they have any Intra-agency reference/docs requirement... usually isn't required in most cases.
2. As u have already done with your meds -- it's very unlikely that u'd have any employment verif. now.
