Do the hours I work have to be included in the work experience letter or it just has to say I am a full-time in my position? I am applying in Buffalo and I work in New York. If I have to include the hours, Do I put 40 hours or 35 hours. I work 40 hours but I take 1 hour lunch every day and I do not get paid for it.

Thanks.

Would be great if included details for hours too, i red on some place a minimam amount of hours per week, im not sure it was on CIC website or in this forum, but hours are matter , its sure. So better include both for best.

The CIC does not ask you to put the number of ours you worked on the reference letter. I believe if your employer says "full time" then it is easy to find out what full time means in each country.

So, I guess 37.5 is a base for consider it full time. I work 35 hours a week and I am full time. It is actually 40 hours but since they deduct 1 hour lunch every day, it becomes 35 hours. My employer just put Regular Full-time employer. I guess it will work, won't it?

My letter only says full time which means 40 hours a week but mine is yet to be processed so I have no idea if it is fine.
