Hello to all the members of the forum.

I was an international student and i grauduated in August 2013 and my three year work permit expires on Nov 2016.

Since December 2013 i started working as a part time web developer/designer and i worked there till May 2014. After that I went to my home country for a couple of months vacation and after returning I started back at the same office from August 2014 and this time I got 30hrs of work/week.

Previously, from Dec 2013 to May 2014 is worked under self employed status and was not under payroll. But after my vacation my company employed me on a payroll.

So i calculated the total hours i have worked so far is about 950 hours.

I hear that under pnp you are eligible after 1 years of full time work or equivalent amount of time as a part timer which is about 1560 hours.

My question is the hours that i worked as a self employed person, will it be counted?

Or only the work i did under payroll gets counted.

And as i am on midway of my 3 year work permit will it be wiser for me to move into some other provinces to apply for the PNP.

Please help.

if u r getting 30 hrs its ok for full time definition but try to get 32 on pay roll.alberta and Saskatchewan r options for u .
