Eligibility issue: Will student work experience sum up with Skilled work experience for eligibility?

[s4mch3f]

I'm a little bit confused with the terms of the canada.ca website about federal skilled workers eligibility for work experience:


Skilled work experience
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:

1. full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full-time (1,560 hours)
2. equal amount in part-time work: for example 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
3. You can work as many part-time jobs as you need to meet this requirement
4. 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)

&

Student work experience
Work experience gained while you were studying may count towards your minimum requirements if the work:

1. was paid by wages or commissions
2. was continuous (no gaps in employment), and
3. meets all the other requirements of the Program

So I describe my situation for you folks to give me your opinion on what it would be.


I've been a university student since January 2021.

In 2021, I worked as a part-time research assistant at my university for 204 hours as hourly research assistant. After that, they wanted to make me a full-time offer and increase the amount of time I worked, so they began to make me a new offer. The paperwork and bureaucracy took nearly two months, and I received the new paperwork on March 1st and there is a lag between my both contracts, but I've been working full-time since the beginning of the year, and they've paid me for my work beginning on March 1st for the amount that they lent me in the following months. The job is an hourly full-time job, and I would be paid hourly, as stated in my offer, so they asked me to add more time in my time report to cover the cost of the first two months in other months.

My supervisor would give me the paper that I've been working on since the beginning of the year, but I'm not sure if it will be enough, and I'm not sure if the paperwork from HR will be enough to prove I've been working since the beginning of the year. Besides I can provide my T4 for the officer which I have been paid for what.

My main issue is that I am not eligible for express entry with this work experience. I was wondering how much of this experience you believe would be valid for express entry federal skill worker eligibility? Will they count it 5 months from April to September or that will be 7 months this year + 204 hours in the past year?

I now have two job offers, one with the same NOC as the one I'm working at and two others with different positions and a different NOC code. I was wondering if I graduate and change jobs now, if the previous experience would count toward my eligibility for federal express entry. For example, if they consider my university experience to be 8 months, will I be eligible for the pool after 4 months in the new job?

Thanks in advance.

To be eligible for FSW, you need one year, full-time CONTINUOUS experience. That means no breaks between contracts.

To be eligible for FSW, you need one year, full-time CONTINUOUS experience. That means no breaks between contracts.

So what does it mean by these three sections:

1. equal amount in part-time work: for example 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
2. You can work as many part-time jobs as you need to meet this requirement
3. 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)

As many part time job as people can or as many fulltime job as they can?

(1 year of continuous work) or (1,560 hours total (30 hours per week)) isn't this like this? I mean the time won't count for the 1 year of continues work and if it's more than 1 work they would count the hours?


Besides, I should mention these are Canadian work experiences in a Canadian university.

So is your continious over the 2 years…no breaks between jobs in the same NOC.

Same NOC mean, NOC A B 0 or Means the exact NOC code?

I wanted to know if I graduate and start the job again at one higher position like a research associate, does it effect the eligibility or not?

Exact NOC code.

Yes

 

[Andreasteen]

So what's the significance here by these three segments:
equivalent sum in temporary work: for instance 15 hours/week for a very long time = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
You can fill in as need might arise to meet this prerequisite
full-time at more than 1 work: 30 hours/week for quite some time at more than 1 work = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
However many temporary occupation as individuals can or as numerous all day work as they can?

(1 year of ceaseless work) or (1,560 hours all out (30 hours out of every week)) isn't this like this? I mean the time could count for the 1 year of proceeds with work and assuming it's more than 1 work they could count the hours?

Moreover, I ought to specify these are Canadian work encounters in a Canadian college.
