CEC?

[velu05]

Senior members,

I need your help.

My employer is ready to transfer me to Canada on a fixed term say 12 months as a contractual employee and not as a full time permanent employee. But my duties & duration of work will be similar to the full time employment except the type of employment. My doubt is the experience that I will be gaining in Canada over the next few years will be considered for Canadian Experience Class? I have a valid Canadian open work permit.

CIC says "You have at least 12 months of full-time (or an equal amount in part-time) in an occupation at the NOC 0, A or B level in Canada in the three years before you apply"

So I believe contract job should be eligible for CEC but you have to show number of hours worked during this period (around 2000 hours in a year ~ 260*7.5).

I second that.

Thank you very much for your quick response

Could you also please clarify the following:

Is contractual employment will come under full time category? I am sorry if I am asking a silly question.
If the term is less than 12 months and later if it is renewed on continuous employment basis then CIC will accept it as CEC?

As far as I know you need to get that work experience in a certain time period, but I highly recommend to double check it on the CIC homepage. Good Luck to You!

Thank you. But CIC has not provided enough information in their website pertaining to my case

Yes as long as the job is in NOC O,A,B and you are working more than 30hours per week. It does not need to be permanent.
