Hi,

Did anyone apply once you have reach the required number of hours which is 1560 hours and not waited for 1 years of completion at your work place?

Thanks

If you apply before 1 year of the skill experience gained under NOC O,A, or B (even with 1560 hours) your application will be rejected due to ineligibility. You have to fulfill both 1 year full time work as well as 1560 hours.

Yea, and the worst part is, you know that they rejected ur application in the 3rd/4th month after you apply (thats how slow the cic is).
Example : you applied on 11th month, they rejected you on the 15th month, So you'll ended up losing 3 months before you know that the application being rejected.

So the safe bet is just wait until you have that 1 year skill experience, then go for it.

Yes, sure. Just search the forum for people who have been refused.

There is a one year full-time work requirement. The "hours" are an equivalent given for people who work part-time (by definition, will take MORE than one year of work). If you work full time, the "hours" do not apply.

I am part-time on Paper, but get full-time hours. That is 40 hr per week

CIC has its own definition of full-time and part-time, regardless of what your employer calls it.
- if you work 30 or more hours per week, you are full-time
- If you work fewer than 30 hours, you are part-time.

If some weeks you are full-time and some weeks you are part-time, you need some very good week to week records of hours worked...

Unfortunately, you can only use 30 hr/week to calculate hours for one year experience.

Unfortunately, you can only use 30 hr/week to calculate hours for one year experience.

Sorry, Why do you say only 30!! Is it because if its 30 then it would take 52 weeks?

Thank you all for your response

EXACTLY. The hourly equivalent of 1 year (52 weeks) of full-time employment (based on a minimum of 30 hours per week) is 1560 hours. If you work fewer hours than 30 per week (part-time) it will take MORE than one year to meet the one year minimum requirement. Again, more than 30 hours per week is simply a "full-time" week. One year is the MINIMUM.

See the OP 25A, top of p.6:
www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op25A-eng.pdf

"Work experience must be acquired over a period of at least one year; work in excess of 30 hours per week over a shorter period cannot compensate for any shorter overall period of experience."

Hi,
because 30 hours is considered as full time week by CIC (as mentioned above), that's why you can calculate only 30 hours per week (even if you work 40 hours). Don't ask why, take it as a fact. So again, you have to work 1560 hours as well as minimum 52 weeks. If you don't fulfill both requirements you're not eligible.

I like the way you responded. Thanks, I wonder how Express Entry will effect CEC
