CEC work experience

[Srijith]

Hello guys,
I have some queries regarding canadian work experience for a CEC express entry profile.
I am currently working full-time (40 hours per week) permanent in a NOC B (TEER 2) position, I am aware that to qualify I need 1560 hours of work experience ( max 30 hours per week for a year). My company has 3 to 6 freeze weeks in a year where there is no production. Do i still have to accumulate those extra 3 to 6 weeks of experience in those weeks before i apply or I could just go ahead and apply for the express entry? Any information is appreciated

Do you receive a full salary during those 3-6 weeks?

I would be using up my vacation leave for 2 weeks. And the remaining I would be unpaid.

In that case you can include the 2 weeks in your count of work experience since this time is being paid as vacation time.

You will need to work an additional 1-4 weeks to make up for the rest of the time where you aren't working and aren't being paid (depending on how long that period ends up being).

Okay yaay! Thanks for your response. Really appreciate it.
