I was reading through all criteria in Express Entry, and found they described the full time occupation as working 30 hours every week, and accumulating same hours in a part time role is considered equivalent.
I wonder, according to their definition, in a full-time role, peoples only need to work 30 hours every week.
So does that mean if you work, let's say, 60 hours every week in your current role with lots of overtime and weekend shifts, do you only have to work for 6 months to get an acknowledgement of 1 year worth of work experience in Express Entry, as it has doubled the work hours than the normal full time positions has?

I look forward to hearing an answer.
 
It's a minimum of 30 hours per week. The acknowledgment of total work experience is not affected by additional work hours per week.

As per your example, even working 60 hours a week for 6 months will count only as 6 months.

30 hours or above is full-time. It doesn't matter how much you work after that.
