Work Hours For Oil and Gas workers. Calculated different?

[canadianstruggle]

Hey All,

I just have a quick question for anyone who has worked in the Oil fields in Alberta. I am currently working in Ft. Mac on a 21 day and 7 day rotation.
I would like to know if CIC will calculate my hours worked differently from a normal person who works 8 hours, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Since I work 21 days straight and 14 hours a day then get 7 days off.

Thanks in advance for any answers...

hi there,
you will show minimum 1560 hours in a year, no any over time include. does not matter about your shift.

How will CIC verify weeks work?

Your letter of employment should just describe your schedule, IRCC is familiar with alternative schedules. You are clearly full-time (more than 30 hours per week pro-rated for your schedule). So you do not "calculate hours" for full-time work, only for part-time work; for full-time work, you just count the weeks. Your weeks would be counted from date of hire (including your "off" weeks).
