Is Paid-leave when in a full time job counted under continuous work experience?
- Thread starter Dip2808

Do you mind elaborating further? why would it the hours not count when I am getting paid by the employer and resuming work after a week or so?
And if the hours won't count then won't it make my hours go less, I believe there is a minimum number of hours that I need to complete.
Is that correct?
“An allowance for a reasonable period of vacation time will generally be made in calculating the period of qualifying work experience (e.g., a two-week period of paid vacation leave within a given 52-week period in which the applicant was engaged in qualifying work experience). An allowance for normal vacation time during a period of qualifying work experience cannot be used as a substitute or proxy for meeting the in-Canada element of the work experience requirement (i.e., work experience obtained outside Canada will not be considered as though the applicant had been on a period of vacation in order to be counted as part of the period of in-Canada work experience). While officers will account for a reasonable period of vacation time in calculating the period of qualifying work experience in Canada, each application is considered on its own merits with a final decision based on a review of all the information available to the officer at the time of decision.”

If you are on leave those are not considered work hours. For example if you take 1 year of leave that is not considered 1 year of Canadian work experience.
