Hi..

According to the requirements of this application, the applicant must prove 12 months of work experience by a minimum of 30 hours per week during the last 24 months in the profession which is designated at lavel 0 - A - B

Ill copy to here reading part I saw in an immigration website, which actually says that working time as a self-employed can be included in the 12 months of work experience we should prove.

This is the quote:

Québec Experience Program for Temporary Workers:

The applicant must have been employed full-time in Québec at a technical, professional or managerial level for a period of 12 months in the 24 months that precede the submission of the application. The 12-month period need not be continuous and can be accumulated with more than one employer. The applicant must have been employed in an occupation with a skill level higher than "C" under the National Occupational Classification system (NOC).

In Québec, full-time employment constitutes a minimum of 30 hours of paid work per week. Time spent as a self-employed can be used to qualify for the 12-month requirement. However, part-time work is not eligible under the PEQ.

What do you think about that?
