Part-time work experience

[anuindale]

Hi everyone,

I have a question about the Federal Skilled Worker's experience requirement.

It is said here that an equivalent amount of experience in part-time work can substitute for continuous full-time employment. My questions are:

a) Do the part-time employment periods have to be continuous (at least 24 months each)?

b) Does part-time experience with less than 15 hours/week count?

c) Does part-time experience acquired during full-time study count?

Much appreciated,
Danny

a) Depends. Are you looking to meet the eligibility criteria with part-time work experience?

b) Yes.

c) Depends. Work experience during canadian or foreign studies?

Clarification:

a) I am trying to meet the eligibility criteria with only part-time work.

c) This is part-time work experience during foreign study (PhD in the US).

 

[DelPiero07]

a) Yes, as long as you get the equivalent work experience to a full-time year of continuous work experience you will qualify.

c) It will count.

Thanks so much DelPiero07. So just to confirm, if I worked part-time:

9 months + 9 months + 12 months (with gaps) at 13/hours per week = 1560 hours

it would still satisfy the condition, right?

If there are gaps you wouldn't meet the continuity requirement.

If there are gaps you wouldn't meet the continuity requirement.

What if I worked part-time for only 20 continuous months, but at 20 hours/week, which is more than 1560 required hours?
