My total hours that i got with my first job as carpenter 2700 hours
My total hours that i got with my second job as carpenter 750 hours
 
my friend,

as far as I know, you need to have 2 years of full time work experience to be eligible to apply for CEC class. I guess 10 months of parental benefit wouldn't count, because, you didn't work, but stayed in home. Y0u need to have working experience of 2 years, for 37.5 hours per week for 2 years. Also, you need to ask some more people about this. I might be wrong too. Best of luck !!

Your Ielts score is good for 7271 (skill B)

When u say u were on parental benefit of 35 weeks? I assume govt paid u to take care the child at home? And u were about to count those 10 months in ur experience?
Is it what u are asking?

Little confusing, u are saying u worked 2 years? But also u are saying 10 months of parental benefit?

Do u have 24 months of full time in last 36 months?
Getting paid for parental benefit will not count as full time, better to consult a lawyer
 
thanks to answer,

yes i meant what you said, i got a work permit as carpenter for 2 years but i worked only 1 year 2 months as carpenter in my first company the other 10 months i was taking parental benefits for 35 weeks and i got 2700 hours, and in my second job i worked as carpenter too in a diferent company and i worked for 4 months and i got 700 hours but i dont know if may i apply or not? because if i dont count the time of the parental benefits i think i still need more hours but i dont know i am not sure....

and yes i have 2 years of full time in the last 3 years but not full time pay because i only have 16 months of full time pay of my two jobs in diferent company without count the parental benrefits, but i dont know if immigration is going to take my application with the time of my parental benefits.

thanks a lot.

i really appreciate if you may give me some advise
