Hello,
I would like to know if I'm am eligible for CEC. I have 2 part-time job in the same Noc. My average hours with both stores is 31hr/wk, but when COVID started my hours dipped to 24-26/wk for a few weeks. Can my 1560 hrs be extend beyond 52 weeks and are they looking for consecutive wèek?
I would be very grateful if someone who is knowledgeable about this can advise, thanks.

Just to add you can only count a maximum total hours of 30 hours in any one week. (30 x 52 =1560)

Thanks for your reply,
I am assuming I need to show all pay stubs for the period and a job letter( same employer). Is there anything else I should include?

You can also include T4s if the work experience is in Canada.

Hii
Can someone help me with my hours calculation. It’s getting really complicated for me. So I got my work permit on 12 June 2019. I was working part time with 16 hours per week till 31 july 2019. Then i started one more part time job with 24 hours per week. I was working both jobs one with 16 hours and other one 24 hours till 29 Feb 2020. Then i got laid off on my second job due to COVID. And I was doing only one job with fluctuating hours sometimes 8 or 10 and 12 till 15 Sep. Then I again started my second job on 15 sep and got same hours till present.
Can someone help me to count the hours before 1 Aug 2019 and after 29 feb 2020.
I will appreciate your help.

Hi there,
In my case, I mostly worked more than 30 hours per week starting in July 2019, but there were some weeks when I worked less than 30 hours. Question is can I count it to add up to my 52 weeks/1,560 hours CEC requirement? Thanks!

Hey i have a question if you guys can help that would be great.
From Jan 2020 to march 2020 i had worked as a restaurant supervisor and changed employer from april 2020 to currently jan 2021 as it turns out my 1 yr experience was completed and i recieved ITA but now my employer refuses to provide experience letter for jan. To march and my ITA expires on april 10 which gives me 10 days to coverup that experience. What should i do ?

if I completed my worked hours (1560 hrs) in 54 weeks instead of 52 weeks, is that fine ? in 52 weeks it comes to only 1552 hrs.

That’s fine. As long as it’s stated clearly in your reference letter — hours worked.

So I was working on B grade part time position from August 2019 to March 2020. During this time my hours were not fixed and I was paid bi-weekly. So there were few weeks where I worked more than 60 hours bi-weekly and few weeks where I worked 40-50 hours bi-weekly. Now going through entire thread it is to my understanding that if I worked bi-weekly 60+ hours I would count it as 2 week of full time experience. And for weeks where I worked anything less than 60 (because it's bi-weekly 30+30) I would all those hours and divide it by 30 and I will get equivalent full time week. Example bi-weekly 1 - 45
Bi-weekly 2- 58
Bi-weekly 3 - 38
Bi-weekly 4 - 40
So to convert this I would add up all the hours 45+58+38+40 = 181 and divide it by 30 = 6.03 Full time experience in weeks.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks

In my opinion you are taking an approach that is not the correct one.

All you need to do is simply:

• Get all your pay stubs.
• Add the hours in all of them.
• If the hours reported in any paystub are 60 or more, then add 60. For example: Hours =70, then add 60.
• If the hours reported are anything below 60, add the actual # of hours. For example 50h.
• Keep adding the hours, once you have reached or passed 1560, you will have accrued the equivalent of 1 year FT.

Because you won't add more than 60 hours per 2-weeks ( or 30 hours per week), you will necessarily have to have worked at least 52 weeks before you can add your hours to 1560.

In your case you will need for sure more than 52 weeks (26 bi-weekly pay stubs) to accomplish this.

That is how I was calculating previously but going through this thread I thought it's more important to count weeks of experience than hours in total. And yes I work part-time (ish) from August 2019 to March 2020 and from March to September I worked full time (37 hrs each week). During 8 months of part time that is 32 weeks, I had at least 16 weeks where I worked more than 60 hours and adding that to full time for 26 weeks give me a total of 42 weeks full time. So I essential need just 10 weeks of more full time experience or equivalent of 600 hours in total from the rest 16 weeks of part time experience I have left to count.

Correction - 10 weeks of full time experience that is equivalent to 300 hours and not 600.
