If I work 40 hours a week can I apply for EE faster?

[cinnamoroll]

I was wondering if I work 40 hours a week, I will be able to accumulate 1560 hours of work in 9.75 months. Can I apply as soon as I accumulate 1560 hours OR do I have to wait for a whole year before applying in which case I would have had more than 1560 hours?

If I can apply for Express Entry as soon as I accumulate 1560 hours, can I work full time and get a second part time job?

I have a Post Graduation Work Permit. Thank you.

No, unfortunately not. CIC are very strict. They require 30hrs per week * 52 weeks. To them even if you work more than 30hrs per week you are still deemed to have worked for only 30 hrs in that week. They have this rule to prevent people claiming credit for 1 yr of work experience (even though they might have worked less than 12 months).

30 HRS is minimum ? I have 45 Hrs in referral letter per week. Would that be OK ?

No, you have to have worked EXACTLY 30 HOURS A WEEK. Otherwise, they will personally send you a "No thanks" letter.

Seriously... don't ask such silly questions

You can work as many hours / job as you want to.
