yes in call centers you get less than 30 sometimes and sometimes more than 40 hours aweek i don't know how you can put that in Reference letter ,

??? I don't see any reason you can't? And in that case, "at least 30 hours per week" would be a lie, then, wouldn't it?

Any idea? although i think her T4 has 1752 ish hours for year of 2015

So now your friend has "variable hours" which complicates things considerably (since, any week where she works less than 30 hours per week is technically part-time).

She will have her T4 for 2016 soon, and may have all the same information on her final paystub for 2016.

Possibly one way to say it is "The number of hours worked may vary, but on average, she worked 33 hours per week in 2015 (total of 1752 hours), and XX per week in 2016." That could still tip off the VO that some weeks might be part-time, but I do not think would push the issue (too much work already).

BTW - s/he should state pre-tax, not post-tax earnings.

But wouldn't it be a full time if the t4 has $25000 on it and their last pay stub has 1700ish hours written for the month of Dec 2015

IRCC defines full time as "30 or more hours per week" and part-time as "less than 30 hours per week." That is the definition.

So, lie? I'd advise against it. If for whatever reason she was asked to prove it, she would not be able to.

Always, always be honest in any application.

well it would of been a lie if she just has 1 year of Experience so in her case she started in 2015 and she almost has 2 years but got points for 1 year since her 2 years was going to complete in march. and now she in the same company but in a different campaign where she is getting 40 hours /week since march 2016 . so technically that wouldn't be a lie , would it ?

If this is the truth,that in some weeks you get less than 30 hours, then "a minimum of 33 hours per week" is not the truth. It might be an "alternative fact" in Trumpville, but not here.

Potentially, IRCC could request all her paystubs, and see that she is not telling the truth.

On the other hand, if the letter states "she works about 33 hours per week on average," that WOULD be true (at least, for 2015).

Well technically yes it would be. You are stating to CIC that she worked 33 hours or more a week while employed in that role. This is not true.

Entirely up to her to submit what she chooses to.

i just asked her she said she worked less that 30 hours just for 2 weeks in 2015. which was around 25 hours in both weeks.
