Total working hours?

[pls-answer]

Hello,

This is my second question in relation to my PR application un CEC.

I did a part-time, which was normally from 25 to 30 per week.
Under the same NOC, I am working full-time at the moment.

1. Can I use the hours I worked when I was a part-time towards my PR application along with those of my current full-time job?

2. Do I need a reference letter from the previous employer as well?

Your asnwers/advice/etc. will be highly appreciated.

1 - You can use them as long as you were not a full-time student in Canada during that time.

2 - Yes as you are trying to claim the work period that you worked for such employer.

Does working while on official break during study in Canada counts? (Does working after final exam of last semester counts?) Please advise. Thank you

Assuming you have applied for a PGWP you are free to count this work experience.

You can, as long as the job meets the other eligibility requirements, but it has to be pro-rated. You add up the actual hours worked (you cannot count more than 30 hours per week), and divide by 30. That will give you the full-time equivalent # of weeks.

2. Do I need a reference letter from the previous employer as well?

? You need a reference letter and supporting documents for any job that you list in your profile to meet eligibility requirements and/or earn CRS points.

No, you are still working under a study permit.

Does working after final exam of last semester counts?
You stop being a student on the last day of your final semester (usually not the same date as your final exam date), OR your graduation date - I believe you can use the date that your final grades are issued. Until then, you are a student and the experience does not count.

After you stop being a student, you are permitted to work as soon as you have submitted your PGWP application, and this work experience may count. If there is a gap between your last day as a student and the day you apply for your PGWP, you are not authorized to work during that gap (and it will not count).
