CEC job schedule

[hernanfelipe]

Hello,

My question is:

I was looking at this forum to confirm about how many hours do we need to have in a year in order to apply. Saw many post that it says that wee need 37.5 hours per week. However, in the website (CEC section) show me this: You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week.

The thing is that I don't have a fixed schedule in my job ( falls in 632 and 631 NOC section). Some weeks I do part time and other full time. Are they going to considerate hours per week or hours per year?

Thanks

This makes things a little more complicated for you - you will need to work out the exact hours worked and make it clear to the officer that you meet the requirements.

- FT is deemed to be 30 hours per week x 52 weeks.
- Let's say you work 40 hours one week - the extra 10 hours makes no difference, it cannot be counted towards your hours.
- Let's say you work 15 hours per week for 1 month out of 12. You would then need to make up the extra hours (60 hours). The quickest you could do this would be working an extra two full time weeks.

It's not easy but the onus is on you to prove you have the required experience.

Good luck.

I am little confused. you said :

- Let's say you work 15 hours per week for 1 month out of 12. You would then need to make up the extra hours (60 hours). The quickest you could do this would be working an extra two full time weeks.

Does not matter if I do extra hours. It will not be accumulative. So why are you telling me that I need to do extra hours?

To make it clearer, I hope:-

The MOST hours you can count for one week of employment is 30 hours , you require 52 weeks of full time employment.

If you work 40 hours one week, they disregard the extra 10 hours, it doesn't count.

If you work less than 30 hours in a week, then you need to make up the required time (but it's capped at 30 hours for any given week).

I was trying to give you an example.

The definition of full-time work changed, effective January 2013, from "at least 37.5 hours per week" to "at least 30 hours per week."

The thing is that I don't have a fixed schedule in my job ( falls in 632 and 631 NOC section). Some weeks I do part time and other full time. Are they going to considerate hours per week or hours per year?

It is not clear how CIC will handle this situation under the new rules. Presumably it is the same as before. Which means, to be safe - I'm saying the same thing as jsm0085. Put another way -

First, count the number of weeks that you worked 30 hours or more. That is the number of full-time weeks.

Then subtract that number from 52 - that gives you the number of "full-time equivalent" weeks you need to work - multiply that by 30, that's the number of part-time hours (any week where you worked less than 30 hours) you need to work to meet the "full-time equivalent" requirement.

I have another questions.

what if during the year, my company rise my salary. In the applications, Should I enter my old salary or new salary?

how do they know how many hours I do per week? if they base on the salary ( taxation ).I think i should enter my old salary.

Thanks so much answering my questions.

The only place in the application where salary is mentioned is in your employer's Letter of Reference. I would suggest something like "Mr X's initial salary was XX,XXX per year; that was raised to XX,XXX on DATE."
