Hello!

I am planning to apply for FSW, and back home I worked as a paid intern for 20 hours a week during a learning program. Although the program is 2 years (as stated in the certificate), I officially started working there only in March 2016. However, since I did 20 hours a week, my full work hours are 1900 continuously from March 2016 to December 2017, which surpasses the 1560 hours required for 1 year of continuous work.

However, the website (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/eligibility/federal-skilled-workers.html) states that an equal amount in part-time work would be: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours).

My question is, if I didn't work for the full 24 months but, having work continuously more than the required hours for the equivalence, do I fill the minimum requirements for the program?

Thank you!
