PLEASE HELP category based selection express entry- how to calculate hours for 6 months?

[inaraaziz]

Can someone please help me out, Im having a mini panic attack.

I worked in health care from May 3rd 2022 to October 9th 2022 as a pharmacy assistant (covered in the category selection for health care). When I calculate my total hours during this time they come to 815 hours. However this was accumulated over 23 weeks so 815/23= 35.4 hours a week. HOWEVER, from what I know CIC only counts 30 hours a week which totals to only 23* 30= 690 hours and that is not equal to 6 months of full time work. This means I will not be eligible for category based selection?

also, I cannot count hours accumulated during my studies in canada towards the category based selection correct?

Thank you so much for reading!

You need to have at least 30 hours a week constantly to be considered a full time.

6 months would be November 3. So need 6 months full time Plus hours. No time during studies do no count.

So, if i were to take up a pharmacy assistant position right now (under the category) and work for 6 months full time 30 h/weekm I would get my PR (given the cut off score is achieved)? I have 2 years of work experience already in canada and am at a 499 CRS score

Sorry for the long post. But I really need help as every agent has different perspective.
Hello,

My position was casual but I have worked full time hours mostly ( gaining experience in healthcare for 6 months )
My pay cheques :

Dates Hours
1. 15-4 to 28-4 31.12
2. 29-4 to 12-5 51.74
3. 13-5 to 26-5 64.74
4. 27-5 to 09-6 68.64
5. 10-6 to 23-6 71.24
6. 24-6 to 07-7 124.02
7. 08-7 to 21-7 70.72
8. 22-7 to 04-8 34.32
9. 05-8 to 18-8 64.48
10. 19-8 to 01-9 65.67



Que 1.) I am still working but I don't know when will I complete 6 months according to the condition of IRCC.
Ques 2.) Also, in some of the paycheques regular hours are 58 and then adding stat and vacation hours - it becomes 60 +.
Is that okay or regular hours or which means actual hours worked should be equal to 60 in 2 weeks.

I would be really grateful if someone can assist.
