CEC Work Hours Change. Please help!

[youngprk]

Hi,

I switched to a new company after working at a previous company for a little less than 2 years, and the current company considers 37.5 hours per week as full-time permanent. However, before I received ITA, I stated that I work 40 hours per week as I simply assumed that I would be working 40 hours. Would this be a problem since there is a difference in hours although CIC considers min 30 hours as full-time?

I have attached a letter of explanation that says the change in work hours from 40 hrs to 37.5 hrs have no effect in CRS Score.

Please help! I really appreciate your advise on this.

I think they use that information roughly just to get a mesure to calculate your work experience. You could be in a part time job working 25 hours/w, for example, and this implies in working more to claim for Canadian Experience.
As long as you mention this change in LOE you are in the safe side, but would be great to have someone senior to confirm this.

They are both full-time, so it's a small thing. But in the LOE you are supposed to explain the error, not tell the VO what to do : )
