FSW: 1560 hours experience earned in 30 months (working 12hours/week)

[vandacska]

Hi All,

I worked as a TA/RA for the last 2,5 year and will have the 1560 hours experience around May this year. I would like to apply for the PR under the FSW but not sure if it would cause a problem that I earned the 1560 hours of experience in approximately 30 months.

The Express Entry requirement guidelines are not clear:

• 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.

I would really appreciate any further input and personal experience on this.

Thank you!

Hi there ,

Please respond to my query.

I had done training for 8 months 27 days under same noc in june 2014 to april 2015 which was contractual and then I appeared for my promotion exam and had been unemployed from june 2015 to marchb 2016.
After this ,I got promoted and worked as permanent employee for 2.9 yrs and left the company.

The letter I had recieved from my company mentioned the first tenure as contractual and the last one 2.9 yrs as permanent .All the details are in the same letter.

So,Can I include this period of contractual job and show experience more than 3 years though there is a gap of almost one year because it Is mandatory to appear for examination ?

Presently ,I am at 440 score but if I can include this 8 months work ex.,My crs score will be 465.


Please help.
