COUNTING PARTTIME

[Aguntupalli]

Hello everyone ,
I have a small doubt.
1)When using part time jobs for employment , on what basis will CIC consider it equivalent to full time work ?

2)Also I have a doubt , is it 12 months /52 weeks? This may sound silly , but beleive me it does make a difference when u are counting this for someone who has a huge gap of unpaid time in between.When someone takes couple weeks of unpaid time off , what should they consider : 52 weeks or the number of hours / 12 calendar months?

Thank you

Little more explanation.
when CIC says part-time job equivalent to full time then it means you can have two or more part time jobs but you must be completing 37.5 hr per week.

P.S.
It could be 30, 32 or 35 hours/week. I am not sure. you may need to see the definition of Full time employment.

There you go:
information from the link that hondafan13 provide you.

“Full-time” means at least 30 hours of paid work in one week. One year of full-time work is at least 1560 hours."

The time calculation is basically very simple. You have to work minimum 1560 hours (minimum 30 per week) and also minimum 52 weeks (1year). All hours worked over 30 per week are not counted. You're not eligible before 52 weeks 1(year) of work even if you finish your 1560 hours sooner (if you work over 30 hours per week).

Thank you .
I would like to put in my situation to be more precise.
Job Start Date : 17 June 2013
Unpaid leave : Whole of March 2014 and Week 1 of April 2014
I would like to determine my exact eligibility period. I am planning on quitting my current job on 30th July (for family reasons). Will I have completed my eligibility by then ?My work hours were 40hrs/week through the employment period.

Thank you.

The text is simple and straight forward. For the past 3 years after graduation and in the period where you hold PGWP do you have the required number of hours ? Do the math... THx

My problem is my 52 weeks are completed by 19th of july if i count the number of weeks i worked (5days a week , 40 hrs a week)
But if I count it as june 17 , 2013 to June 17, 2014 as 1 yr and then add 5 weeks to it (to supplement for the unpaid leave) then it comes to 24th July.Could you please help me clear the confusion?
Thank you again.

Yes I do have the required number of hours , but hours are not the only criteria.I would have finished 1600 hours in less than 11 months.
but i am stuck amidst 52 weeks and 12months date (like 17 june 2013 to 17 june 2014)
Thank you

Period to count -last 3 years.
Work experience required to apply - 1 year fulltime.

You have the numbers of hours for what is 1 year full-time. Please do the math ...

Here's the math for your benefit:

Full time work: 30 hours/week
Unpaid vacation not counted duration: 5 weeks.
Job Start: 17 June 2013
52 weeks at 30 hours/week: 17 June 2014, not accounting for unpaid leave.

Eligibility for CEC: 17 June 2014 + 5 weeks = 23rd July 2014
Buffer of 2 weeks for safe calculations: 6 august 2014.

1)When using part time jobs for employment , on what basis will CIC consider it equivalent to full time work ?

Part-time means fewer than 30 hours per week. Add up the hours and divide by 30. This number will give you the number of FTE weeks.

2)Also I have a doubt , is it 12 months /52 weeks? This may sound silly , but beleive me it does make a difference when u are counting this for someone who has a huge gap of unpaid time in between.When someone takes couple weeks of unpaid time off , what should they consider : 52 weeks or the number of hours / 12 calendar months?

You cannot count unpaid time off, but be sure it was unpaid time off. For example, some hourly workers have something like ~ 4% vacation pay added to every paycheck - in that case it would be reasonable to consider 2 weeks as "paid" vacation, but more than that, you would not be able to count the week(s) as week(s) of employment.

It is 52 weeks / 12 calandar months (same thing) of full-time employment (at least 30 hours per week). OR the equivalent in part-time employment (which would take longer than than 52 weeks).

It is simply not possible (mathematically) to earn the "required hours" in fewer than 52 weeks / 12 months.

As others have pointed out - hours beyond 30 hours per week do not "count" (and there would be no reason to count hours if you were employed full-time). (there are exceptions, for example, if you're working in a remote location and you fly in for 2-3 weeks, fly out for a week...)
