8.19(1) FFD erccepcress Semone conse ‘Thank you kindly for your response. For additional clarification, can you confirm that the system is not actually counting part-time hours but periods of employment? For example, if someone is working part time hours — will the system recognise when they have a full year of work experience based on the number of hours they have entered or the timeframe provided? In other words, if a candidate has reached 1,560 hours of work ona part time basis over a period of 17 months — will the EE system recognise that they have the equivalent of a year of fulltime experience at that point. Or, will the system only recognise that they have the equivalent of full-time hours when the 24 month period has elapsed? Thanks From: Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[requester email]> Sent: [requester] To: [requester] Immigration Representatives / Représentants immigration (IRCC) <[IRCC Immigration Representatives mailbox]> Subject: [requester] [requester] you for your email correspondence to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s Immigration Representatives mailbox. We appreciate your patience. Question: Can you advise if the EE system will calculate work experience if an applicant works more than one job and there is an overlap in the timeframe? For example, if an applicant has 7 months of full-time paid and skilled experience and 10 months of part time paid and skilled work experience, some of which overlaps the full time experience — will the system still see a credit for one year of CEC? Or, will the system only recognise the 7 months of full time experience and the 3 months of part time experience that were outside the same months covered by the full time position? Answer: Please note that the Express Entry system will not count work experience in excess of 30 hours per week. Qualifying work experience for the Canadian Experience Class may be obtained as a combination of full-time and part-time work. A period of work experience that exceeds full-time work in one occupation, or simultaneous periods of work experience in more than one full-time occupation, are to be evaluated as a single period of full-time work experience in a single occupation. In the proposed scenario, the Express Entry system will count the 7 months of full-time work experience as well as the remaining months of part-time work experience that do not overlap during the full-time experience being claimed. The work experience must also meet all other requirements to be considered eligible Please be advised that the assessment of an application is conducted on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the specific circumstances and the supporting documentation available to the officer. Itis the applicant's responsibility to provide sufficient documentation to demonstrate that they meet the requirements. We trust that this information will be of assistance to you. Sincerely,
