This is a great news - congratulations to those whose scores went up.
I am wondering if someone could help me with a few things.
I worked part time for a job from June 2013 to January 03, 2014. My hours on this job weren't consistent, some weeks 15 hours and some weeks 2-25. The total number of hours I worked on this job was 588. Job responsibilities of this position relates to NOC B.
I started another job on January 06, 2014 where I am currently employed, working full time, 40 hours a week. This position relates to NOC A.
My questions are:
1) Will I get points for two different job experiences/NOCs? If so,
2) How do I convert the part time hours to equivalent full time hours? and,
3) With my part time and full time hours, when I will complete two years of experience?
Thanks for your help.
Would anyone please comment on this? Please?
I am not an expert. Divide 588 by 30 = 19 full time weeks
For other job, even though 40 hrs, just counts as one full week. So you need 52
Weeks to equal one year. 104 - 19 = 85 more weeks to reach two years. I don't know why you are looking for two years as you need one full year in a NOC OAB skilled job. Read the exact wording to see if you can combine the two jobs to make the year. I don't know if you worked in Canada or abroad.

Thanks for your response. I already have one full year experience which makes me eligible for CEC & FSW. However, I was wondering if I can you part time experience from my previous job and work for few more months on my current position so that I can combine hours from both and get one year experience out of these - which will bump up my score.
I'm currently in Canada and both of my work experiences were gained inside Canada.
So with your calculation, I need 52-19=33 full time weeks. It's the beginning of June, means 20 weeks up until now. I need to work 13 more weeks to make my experience two years, correct?
Also, since my hours in part time job were not consistent, how do I answer about weekly hours in express entry profile? The wages for part time job were just above minimum wage, do you think that will cause an issue?
Thanks for your help.

I left Canada last night because my visa expired at the end of May, and then saw this post this morning. I love this forum!! If it weren't for it, I wouldn't have known about the potential 40 additional points. Made a minor change and it worked for me. My points went from 424 to 464. Finishing my masters in 6 weeks so that should take it to 470. Please let that be enough for an ITA soon so I can return to my home away from home!
My points got increased from 429 to 439.chechi_298 said:

but I don't why it got increases though I did nt complete my 3 years I got the points for. Another 2 more months left to complete...
May be it s just the working hours not necessarily complete year...

Hey,
When did you get the update? I have work experience of 7 month (web developer) +22 months (programmer) with a 4-months gap in between , but nothing changed in my profile.
I've got the 40 points for 1 year continuous Canadian work experience, but now according to the new amendment I should have 53 as I have more than 2 year's in total.
Should I waiting for CIC guy to read my profile or do something to the profile by myself?
Someone help me please. Thanks a lot!

I got 40 extra points for having 1 year Canadian experience + 13 extra points for having 1 year Canadian experience and post secondary degree. I did not get these points before because I had worked at my first job for 11 months and then a break of 5 months and then my current job for 5 months and counting (both same NOC). Now it does not matter if the experience is continuous or not, so I got the extra 53 points.Oka said:
