Doubt regarding skilled work experience in Federal Skilled Worker Express Entry

[Ramsay123]

I have worked part time on student permit on campus and my job duties count in one of the NOC codes( this job was a paid job) . I continued to work at same workplace after finishing my studies with same job duties . If I count total hours at this job , it comes 1600 hours ( but almost 1000 of these were finished when I was a student). I have a doubt if work experience gained during my student status will be counted or not??

I have worked as a student research assistant but my job roles and responsibilities match with software developer/technical support

I have read the rules on CIC website and it says:

Skilled work experience
Skilled work experience means you’ve worked in 1 of these National Occupational Classification (NOC) job groups:

• Managerial jobs (skill type 0)
• Professional jobs (skill level A)
• Technical jobs and skilled trades (skill level B)

You must show that while working in your primary occupation you performed the duties set out in the lead statement of the occupational description in the NOC. This includes all the essential duties and most of the main duties listed.

Your skilled work experience must be:

• in the same type of job (have the same NOC) as the job you want to use for your immigration application (called your primary occupation)
• within the last 10 years
• paid work (This means you must have been paid wages or earned commission. Volunteer work or unpaid internships don’t count.)
• at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week). You can meet this in a few different ways:
  • full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
  • equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
  • full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

For part-time work, you can work more or less than 15 hours/week as long as it adds up to 1,560 hours.

We don’t count any hours you work above 30 hours/week.




Any help would be appreciated.
