one year of continuous full-time (or full-time equivalent)

[New2Canada]

There are three requirements with regard to work for FSW1.

1) Ministerial instruction
"Federal Skilled Workers with one year of continuous full-time (or equivalent parttime)
paid work experience in the last ten years in one or more of the occupations
listed at the following Web site:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp."

What does equivalent part time mean here. Can a 20 hour job for 2 years be considered to fulfill this criteria.

2) Minimum requirement

"As with full-time work experience, part-time work experience must be continuous for the one-year
eligibility requirement of the class [R75(2)]" from OP6.


3) Points


So can 20 hours per week for two years fulfill criteria 1. How about criteria 2?

2 years @20 hrs /week fulfills both requirements.

Hey guys!

I have a question regarding work experience.

I am a registered nurse with two years of continuous work experience and have applied under FSW using this job category. However, prior to becoming a nurse, I also worked as a credit authorizer under NOC 1114 for three years. Now here's the question, do I also have to provide a certificate of employement for my credit authorizer job or do I just have to provide one for my nursing experience since this is the category I applied for under the FSW fast track system? Just thought of asking because I think I remember reading in one of the topics here that said that you only have to produce/submit a certificate of employment for the position (included in the 38 job cat.) that you applied for under the new processing scheme for FSW.

Another reason why I am asking is becasue I want to claim points as well for my credit authorizer job since it falls under job category A. I am wondering if I can claim points for this by merely putting the NOC number in the application form and writing the duties and responsibilities without submitting an employemnt letter given the technicallity that it is not the job category I directly used to lodge my paper under the new scheme for processing of FSW application.

Appreciate your two cents on this case, guys.

You need to prove employment for all jobs you are claiming points for.
