Do you know how they calculate this 3900 hours .. source ?? 3900 / 37.5 hours = 104 weeks which turns out o be 2 years.
How about if someone has done overtime during this 2 years and 3900 hours is accumulated in lesser no of weeks than 104 weeks?
Yes you can, if you have overtime. As per my understanding, as per guide 5609 and from the explanation by the CIC-detroit agent who visited our university last spring, 3900 means full time work for two years, i.e., an average of 37.5 hrs/week for 104 years (as per CIC one year equivalent to 52 weeks).
CIC guide line ( I have quoted below) have mentioned only the maximum time frame, 3 years, to gather this experience but not the minimum time frame. So theoretically, as per my understanding, you can accumulate this experience in 162.5 days (assuming you work for 24 hours per day) under NOC 0, A and B category(ies) skill and with salary 10.25 $/hour or more.
