Does 20 hour/week part-time work count as 2/3 of full time?

Hi, I saw Asivad Anac said in a post:

Full time is equal to or more than hours/week, you don't get extra credit beyond 30. Part time is on actuals - 24 hours/week is 80% full time equivalent while 15 hours/week is 50% full time equivalent and 3 hours/week is 10% full time equivalent.

I have 5 years of 20hr/week part-time foreign work experience. So that should count as 20/30*5=3.3 years of full time. Is that correct? Can anyone point to me if CIC has specified this detail anywhere? Is this calculation used in both in determining eligibility into EE, and CRS for FSW? Thank you.

Thats correct.

I had years of part time work myself and it worked exactly the same way.

So somebody who has 6 years @ 15 hours would be assessed as 3 years full time.

Yup. Anything less than 30 hours, but more than 15 hours, is counted as is, and then retrofitted into the full time requirement.

Partly correct. 15 hours/week is 50% FTE but you can also get partial FTE credit for working less than 15 hours/week.

Yes, works the same way for both.

I was unaware of this! That seems to be a pretty interesting quirk haha

Hi. I have acquired more than 1560 hours in 2 years. I have always worked less than 30 hours/week. I have also worked less than 15 hours/week. Can I add all my hours and divide by 30 to get the equivalent in full time? Is that right? Can I assume that I have 1 year of work experience?

Yes. Pretty smart, you figured it out. When you divide by 30, what you get is the FTE weeks. 52 FTE weeks = 1 year FTE experience.
