CEC Rejected Plzzz Help!!

At least 37.5 hours per week = 1 week of full-time employment. You need 24 months = 104 WEEKS of full-time employment (or the equivalent in part-time employment).

You can't count by days, you have to count by weeks. A calendar week is Sunday through Saturday. Paid holidays/vacations are considered part of employment. (Unpaid is not).

Hi Jes_on

What about of civic holidays? I am a contract employee and even though I get paid for statutory holidays but i didnt get paid for 1 day of civic holiday and 2-3 days of holidays that were given to us as the company was closed in the last week of December. I was technically employed but since I am a contract employee....didnt get paid. So should i not count those days.

The company is gonna provide me a letter stating that I was employed from xx june 2011 to xx june 2012.

Thanks jes_ON for the update. Sad news is that I have just received an update from Ottawa, it hasn't been considered, th saey have reiterated their stance stating that even if the lockin date were to be considered it still stands the same. Tough luck .

jes_ON coming back to the 24 months = 104 weeks can this be staggered and not continuous, which happens to be in my case, I had about 18 months of continuous emp then a break followed by 6 months, and this in the last 3 years before applying. Is this a valid case for CEC?

My first reaction is - what's "contract employee" got to do with it? Perhaps it's simply not part of your contract, but that would not be true of all contract employees.

Second reaction - Yikes! if those 2-3 days matter to your eligibility, you're cutting it too close! Give your self some extra room...

Lastly, to answer your question - if you were not eligible to be paid for those holidays, you probably cannot count them. But it really shouldn't make that much difference.

Sorry to hear that, that doesn't make sense, or there's more to it (perhaps they didn't accept one of your jobs as skilled?)

It does not have to be continuous. Yes, 18+6 =24, and should be valid, if the 18 months were FULL months and the 6 months were FULL months. I would never suggest that someone cut it that close, tho, if you had any choice. 2 days short of a full 24 months can make you ineligible.
