"Continuous" work experience?

Huh, well there you go, nice clear answer Jes!

Yes, she can apply, based on this information. CIC does accept part-time work, they can calculate the full-time equivalent (FTE). 1 year 6 months is about 78 weeks, 78 weeks * 24 hours per week = 1872 hours, or the full time equivalent of 62 weeks (1872/30) or approximately FTE of 14 months. As long as she can document the work and the hours, she will get credit for 2 years.

Ok, so if some one works part time arund 28 hours per week for 1 year 4 months they qualify? I think some thing we r missing here. Cic might consider 15 hours only per week to calculate experience because hours earned between 16 and 29 is just extra hours. Those hours shld nt be consider to calculate experience.

That is correct...For part time calculations CIC assumes 15 hrs. per week only even if you worked 20 or 24 hrs per week.
Just as for Full-time calculations CIC assumes 30 hrs. per week only even if you worked 35 or 40 hrs per week.

Hope that clears it...
