anything over 30 hours a week does not count as extra.

No. 1560 hours is an equivalent of 1 year of full-time work, provided so that part-time workers can calculate their eligibility (which by definition will take longer than 1 year). If you worked 30 or more hours per week, it is simply full time, and you need 52 weeks of full-time work.

Hey guys,

I was wondering if I could get some insight into my situation. I started my NOC B job on April 1 2014 and I also work 40 hours a week. I am hoping to complete my 1 year of Canadian work experience on March 31 of this year. The thing is that I took a paid out of country vacation over the Christmas holidays for 3.5 weeks. I was wondering if my vacation time will be counted since it was paid or if I should wait to submit my profile in Mid April. My score after my 1 year is completed would be 468 and I am hoping to have a profile set up for the next draw if the score drops below 481.

Thanks for your help!

I believe paid vacations are included as work time becuase you get your pay steb so it would be ok

paid leaves & vacations counts towards 1560 hrs

From the previous CEC application Web Site at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/perm/econ/cec/work.asp

An allowance for a reasonable period of vacation time will generally be made in calculating the period of qualifying work experience (e.g., a two-week period of paid vacation leave within a given 52-week period in which the applicant was engaged in qualifying work experience). An allowance for normal vacation time during a period of qualifying work experience cannot be used as a substitute or proxy for meeting the in-Canada element of the work experience requirement (i.e., work experience obtained outside Canada will not be considered as though the applicant had been on a period of vacation in order to be counted as part of the period of in-Canada work experience). While officers will account for a reasonable period of vacation time in calculating the period of qualifying work experience in Canada, each application is considered on its own merits with a final decision based on a review of all the information available to the officer at the time of decision.

3.5 weeks might be pushing your luck.

I am thinking to submit my profile in mid April (instead of March 31) so that I at least have two extra weeks of work to cover for going over the two weeks stated on CIC website. My concern is the cut off point. I think it will most likely drop from 481 for the next draw (just my opinion) and I want to be able to get an ITA before the score goes up again.

*sigh*

Decisions, decisions.

Thanks for your help!

Hey guys,

First of all congrats to all those people got ITA! I have a question about this as well.

I work as full time university lecturer outside Canada from 8.1-5.30 every year. And my paystubs all say I work 40 hours a week and full time. But I have 2 months (June, July) each summer when I don't teach and get no salary. Other posts said any hours above 30 hours does not count. So I work only 44 weeks per year. Will cic consider this as full time? Seniors please advise.

I entered the pool with NOC 4011 skill level A and CRS 453

Oh, good question! That would certainly be quite normal for academics.

Yes, full-time, no problem - but does it meet the "continuous" requirement for express entry?

Do you have annual contracts, or longer-term?

Thank you for the reply

I started it in 2013 August and have an offer letter for that. I don't have letter in 2014 tho since school don't give letters after 1st year. But I have a letter from my supervisor (which was for FSW2014) explaining I was working from 2013 August till now. Also I have pay stubs for every month.

Do you think these will work?

Probably, or I should say, I hope so. As long as the university considers you to still be an employee during those off-months, you're probably OK.
