How to count part-time work hours

I currently have a part-time job where the number of hours worked each week varies — sometimes 10 hours, sometimes 25 hours, and occasionally 35 hours. My salary is paid every two weeks, and the pay stub shows the total number of hours worked over the two-week period.

When applying for Express Entry, how should I answer the question: "Hours per week"?

Can I calculate the average weekly hours? If so, I’m concerned because the IRCC website states that they don’t count hours worked above 30 hours per week. Also, I can’t remember the exact number of hours I worked each week, only the total hours for each two-week period based on my pay stub. This is quite frustrating.

I would appreciate any advice or help. Thanks in advance!

You paystubs should reflect that. And yes, no more than 30 hours per week and no more than 1,560 hours a year.

If you have 60 hours mentioned in your 2-week paystub, it's safe to count it as 30 a week.
