Multiple Jobs (Different NOCs) - Full Time/Part Time Combo

[Kahl Lee]

Hi All,

Hope everyone is doing great. I have a question with regards to counting work experience (again - but this time, not with hours).

I was working in Company A under NOC 1122 for 55 weeks (Min 40 Hours/Week) - I have met the one year requirement.

Now, I am working in Company B under NOC 2172. I will be working full time for 4 months, then part time for 6-8 months, then back to full time until around July 2022 (Tentatively).

My question is:

1. Can my second experience be counted as part of my application as well? Or only ONE NOC applies?

2. If it can be accepted, how do I calculate the full/part time hours component? Will this count as 2 years experience (combined with my first NOC) for Express Entry?

Thank you!!!

1. Yes you can count it.
2. You have to add up your hours. To get one year full time, you need 1560 hours so if your second job equals that or more that you can count it as 2 years experienc.

Hi there! On the second answer, I humbly request for further clarification.

Does this mean I can count both full time and part time together? As long they combine to equal one full year? How will that work?

You need to calculate your hours.

• Full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
• Equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
• Full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

Part-time work experience
For part-time work, you can work more or less than 15 hours/week as long as it adds up to 1,560 hours.

We don’t count any hours you work above 30 hours/week.

Hi there! Thank you.

Correct me if I am wrong, based on my circumstances, I can count NOC 2172 as follows:
1. 4 Months (16 weeks - 30 hours/week) = 480 Hours
2. 8 months (30 weeks - 15 hours/week) = 450 Hours
3. 42 weeks Full Time afterwards (Then I resign) = 1,260 Hours

Total: 2,190 Hours

Is this right?.

 

[Naturgrl]

Yes you can count those as one year so 2 years total. What stream is this for? FSW. Why are you resigning?

 

[Kahl Lee]

This stream is for FSW (Express Entry). All work experiences are outside of Canada.

I am resigning because I intend to take one year off to start my own online business and to apply for the EE stream then. It's tentative, but that is the date I have in mind.

Thank you for your help thus far!
