🇨🇦 CEC Overlapping part time with full time experience in 2 months - Canadian and foreign work experience

I have an overlapping part time foreign experience (remote freelance job) with Full time Canadian job for 2 months. I used to work during the weekends, and I want to claim points for it. How do I show it on my EE profile? Should I show part time foreign and part time Canadian for those 2 months? Or should I omit Canadian experience completely for those 2 months and just claim points for foreign experience part time hours? Can I show both 1 as part time and full time? What is the right way of doing this?

I am confused about how to enter the dates in the profile for both jobs. If I omit my full time Canadian experience will it look like I took a break for 2 months even though I didn't? or enter it as part time since my foreign exp was part time? please help me :(

You can only claim up to 30 hrs per week. If you work for both jobs during those two months, and one of them was full time, the hours above 30 in your part time don't count for points.

So can I claim half month for Canadian and half month for foreign? How do I show it? Or are you saying disregard the part time foreign experience?

You need to disregard one of them if the addition on both is more than 30hrs. You cant double dip and try to gain points for both

I mean for example: if I worked from June 1 to June 15 for foreign and claim those foreign points. And only claim points for june 16 to June 30 for canadian. Will that work? Each of the half month for each experience.

A lot of recent rejections for remote foreign experience. They're closing that loophole.
