A question on work experience points in OINP
Hi all,
I would be really grateful if you could help me with this. The OINP guide says that you have to have a minimum of one year experience in last five years. OINP conditions are as follows:
Work Experience
- at least one year (1,560 hours total) of continuous full-time (minimum of
30 hours/week for 12 months) or an equal amount in continuous part-time
(minimum of 15 hours/week for 24 months or 30 hours/week for 1
- within the last five years from the date of the Notification of Interest
from Ontario.
Points are awarded as follows:
Experience Maximum Points
1 year (minimum of 12 months) 9 points
2 to 3 years (24 to 36 months) 11 points
4 to 5 years (48 to 60 months) 13 points
6 or more years (72 months or more) 15 points
My situation:
I have a total experience of seven years in my last two jobs.
Current job:
Starting date: June 04, 2012 - Total countable complete years - 04 years
Last job:
Starting date: April 01, 2008- Date of leaving - October 31, 2011 - Total countable complete years - 03 years
I have an unemployment period of eight months between these two jobs.
Now my question is that am I eligible to claim work experience points for six years as stated above which are 15 points?
Thank you!
