Will working 2 jobs @ 80hrs a week qualify for CEC in 6 months?

CEC requires 1 year experience. But what if I have worked 2 jobs(Technical Project Consultant & Airport Manager), paid for 40 hrs each week from Jan 2013 to June 2013. After June 2013 working as an Airport Duty Manager. How does that qualify?

On paper I worked 80hrs a week and was also paid for 80hrs for 2 jobs in 2 different airports from Jan 2013 to June 2013. Does this mean I am qualified in 6 months, because I do satisfy immigration needs of work experience based on the no.of hrs worked.

No. One year "full time" is a minimum requirement, where full time is defined as "at least 30 hours per week."

Hours are only used to calculate the part-time equivalent (which by definition will take longer than one year).

Also - your consultant job - if you were self-employed - will not qualify for CEC.

You need to satisfy both 1 calendar year AND 1560 work hrs.
If you work >30 hrs per week for the whole time, you will qualify exactly 1 year after your start date, but never before that.

It's perfectly fine to combine experiences from 2 jobs.

80 hours a week you are hardworking, are you?

Securing a job in aviation being international was not easy. So when I got something like that I did not hesitate to go for it. Moreover, I met some nice people in the industry who helped me all the way through, without them I couldn't have made this.

Thankyou for the response. I am clear now

No kidding. I was rejected a job at the ramp because I am on work permit. I guess it's security clearances stuff. Good for you.
