Help with part time hours calculation

[sensay]

Hello members, please help me to count my part-time hours.
Does part time hours mean 15hrs/week for 24 months to make 1560 hrs?
What if someone works 22 hrs/week or variable hours/week (but less than 30hrs)? Will it still be calculated as 15hrs/week?
How will CIC calculate the hours? Will they depend on the employment letter or will they check the payslips?

Part-time can be 22 hours/week and that will add up to 1 year of full-time work experience in about 1 year and 4 months or so. Your part-time hours will be factored based primarily on reference letter but CIC can ask for evidence at any point in time to validate those hours.

What do you mean by "ask for evidence at any point to validate those hours?"
Say my work hours sometimes ranged more than 30hrs/week and sometimes it became as low as 17hr/week.
My question is how will CIC calculate it in case of variable working hours? What document will be needed to claim the exact working hours?

Normally a work reference letter would suffice. If CIC is unconvinced, they can ask for pay stubs, tax assessment forms to cross check number of hours. If you've worked variable hours, get the reference letter to clearly mention that and add an average number of working hours/week.
