Work experience showing wrong total hours worked
Situation:
• Actual hours worked: ~3,032 hrs
• 2-year work ex threshold: 3,120 hrs
• Shortfall: ~88 hrs
IRCC’s system calculates by month, appearing to round start dates to the 1st, adding ~118 extra hours:
| Actual Start | System Start | Extra Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Nov 6 | Nov 1 | ~20 hrs |
| Jul 28 | Jul 1 | ~77 hrs |
| Oct 6 | Oct 1 | ~21 hrs |
System total: ~3,150 hrs, clearing the threshold by ~30 hrs, giving a CRS score of 499 (instead of 474 if only 1 year of work ex is counted)
Question: Is this calculation correct, or could the 88 hr real shortfall be flagged during PR processing? Do I need to consult an immigration consultant because this seems like an edge case?
My work permit expired so I am hoping to gain foreign experience points so I need to know what my exact score is (474 vs 499) so I can plan accordingly.
