Question #1: Can I complete the 1560 hours requirement adding hours from two different jobs? I have worked for one month in one company before landing an offer for a different company. (Different positions by the way).

Question #2: Assuming that the answer for question 1 is positive, is there a problem that during my employment at company B I had my hours temporarily reduced during the COVID19 "first wave" (basically May & June 2020)? Also, during July and August I still wasn't working my regular 37.5 hours (5 days) per week, but I was working 30h (4days). My normal 5 days 37.5h work week was completely resumed since end of August.

Company A: (Sept-October 2019)
4 weeks full-time (30h or plus) = 120 hours

Company B (since end of October 2019):
46 weeks full-time (30h or plus) = 1,380 hours (i.e 30*46)
10 weeks part-time* (7.5h per week) = 75 hours

The total is 120+1,380+75 = 1,575 hours (which is more than the 1,560 required)

Question #3: Assuming item 2 below is also ok, should I add a note in the work experience letter explaining everything? For instance I thought of adding the below:
"Please note that due to COVID19 pandemic restrictions, the employee had his hours temporarily reduced to 8h per week in May and June. Then his work week was of 30 hours weekly during July and August. His normal 37.5 hours work week was reinstated completely on August 31st, 2020."

Thank you!

Hi all,
I am sitting in the pool and have not received an invitation. But my first employer said that immigration asked for papers to confirm my experience. I am sitting at 430 CEC. What does it mean? They are checking me so they can issue an invitation?
