Confused about the hours?

[user7866]

Can someone please tell me how many in total hours of paid work exp we need under CEC? is it 1950 hours?, I have PGWP and worked as an admin assitant (tax secretary) for 4 months from jan 2012 to apr 2012 as a contract job. my question is i worked full time more than 30 hours per week, but every week my hours varied sometimes 35 , n some weeks it was even 40 or more. So when i get a ref letter from my employer should he jst write 30 hours per week or should he write the total works i wroked in 4 months, also i might go back and work for the same employer since i still have not found any other skilled 0 , a or b job, i am currently working but its skilled level c job. I am thinking to go back and work for another 6 or 8 months full time there.

Also, i read some threads where ppl have aksed HRSDS to confirm their noc codes? how do i do that if i want to verify my noc code and duties just in case? Any answers would be appreciated. Thanks

You need to have 12 months full time experience - full time means 30 hours. Anything more an this isn't counted by CIC. This means that working 50 hour weeks for say, 9 months, doesn't qualify
Your employer needs to say you worked full time, a minimum of 30 hours a week

thank you!

now i will be working two jobs, my current employer is under skill level c, and i will be doing another job on side (30 hrs) per week and this second job will be considered skill as i have already work 6 months last year for this employer (admin assistant) as a tax sectary . Will this effect applying for PR in any way at all? working 2 jobs at the same time. I might go part time for the first employer for those 6 months. or i might work full time for my current employer and work 30 hrs per week for the second employer

IF ur working variable hours, u need to count hours from all paystubs from scratch. Make sure u exceed the required # of hours and worked for at least a year and half . Nothing under one year shall be counted. ur employers will write u a letter stating that u worked variable / average hours and mention the total number of hours worked, then u must include all ur paystubs. u don't have to throw away any single hours because all hours gained after one year counts towards ur experience and not b4 one year. I knew this from my personal experience. Remember to count only skilled occupation and yes u can work 2 jobs at a time and count them if they are both skilled

I always thought it was only a year and right after you complete one year u can apply ..and i do not have all the paystubs :s i asked a lawyer and he said if you have T4 and a few stubs that should be fine, pay stub is an option, as long as ur employer has stated in the ref letter clearly how many hours u worked. and what exactly u mean by total hours? is it not 1440, if 30 hours per week then for 12 months its 1440?

yea, u don't really need paystubs but they can help strengthen ur case if ur working variable hours with different employers. paystubs are very strong evidence in my own case. I don't know how many hours they required under new rule but the old rule was 1950hrs which must be accumulated within one year of working simultaneously(37.5hrs/week). other than that( working variable hours), u have to work more than one year to qualify. I am not 100% sure about ur case but based on what I read in ur original post, ur working hours varies and in this case, paystubs are the best bet to ensure u accumulated the required hours but since u lost ur paystubs, each of ur employer can list out total number of hours u've worked for them, (u have to make sure all hours are complete ) and together with ur T4s and NOAs, u might be just fine. for example, u worked 870hrs for company A and worked 900hrs for company, then u add them up to meet targeted hours. since they are variable hours, u will never count excessive hours b4 one year. Maybe some one else might help u with this. I just advised u based on my personal experience. All the best
