    I worked three years in India. Is it required continuously on a full-time basis to become eligible for Federal skilled Worker class?

    In order to be eligible under the federal skilled worker category, your skilled work experience must be:

    – in the same type of job (have the same NOC) as the job you want to use for your immigration application (called your primary occupation)

    – within the last 10 years

    – paid work (have been paid wages or earned commission—volunteer work or this means you must unpaid internships don’t count)

    at least 1 year of continuous work or 1,560 hours total (30 hours per week)—you can meet this in a few different ways:

      • Full-time at 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
      • Equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
      • Full-time at more than 1 job: 30 hours/week for 12 months at more than 1 job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
