Hi all -

Hoping someone can answer this question for me!

Prior to my current job, I worked for 4 months Part-time as the office manager at a real estate firm.

Work hours were set at 15 hours a week, which should equal to 2 months full time skilled experience.

I have the contract and everything - how should I go about asking for proof from them that I worked there for four months? Since i was part-time I didn't get benefits or anything, and just directly billed the company. I am trying to add this 2 months onto my 1 year of skilled work requirement to expedite my CEC application.

Thank you!

Same as any other job. Ask for the letter of reference and provide the details about the information required (or provide a draft of the letter for them to edit and sign).

Since i was part-time I didn't get benefits or anything, and just directly billed the company.

This raises a red flag - now it sounds like you were a self-employed contractor. If you were self-employed (you billed the company, you paid your own taxes, received a T4A instead of a T4), then the experience cannot be used.

Hello

I have a situation not very similar to you but little complicated, can anyone help with any suggestions?


About my education/age background : I am 24 years old female and have a 4 year Bachelors degree in Electronics Engineering (from India) and a 2 Year diploma degree in Electronics (From Humber College, Canada).
IELTS : 7 BANDS (recently given)

About my work experience (which is only in canada) :
JOB#1 I have 9 months of experience working in canada in a NOC B category job (NOC# 7246). It was a permanent full-time jobs (40Hours/week)

JOB#2 (CURRENT JOB) I have 3 months of experience in another job which comes under NOC B (NOC # 5224) which is my current job, its on-call job so hours are fluctuating, however I have worked 36 hours/week throughout except for only two weeks in this 3 months period which were 24 hours/week and 28 hours/week.

I have calculated my total job hours (by every week) for both the jobs which looks like satisfying for me for putting an express entry profile under CEC. But I need a second opinion for my job hours from SECOND JOB which is ON-CALL but where I had full-time hours.

QUESTION#1 : Can I add this second job hours for my profile even when the job was ON-CALL, I have pay-stubs to prove that I worked more than 30 hours/week except the two weeks wherein I worked less than 30 !

QUESTION#2 : If according to you, I can add my second job hours, Do I need any specific statement on the Job-reference letter stating I was on-call but completed 36 hours/week at least? How should I specify details regarding my job being on-call?

Please guide me with your experienced advise.
I am eagerly looking forward to hear from you.

Thanks in advance.
