Hi, I'm currently a student of a bible school in Canada. When I took the test as skilled worker on the web I got confused about working experience. Officially, I don't have any working experience because you are not allowed to work while you are study in Canada (Not all). So what I do is I am voluntering, I've been a musician in a church for about 4 years without getting paid, I've been voluntering as Paper Courier for about 2 years too. So, can I consider it as working experience?

Or can I consider it as co-Op because my field of study is religion even though there is no official letter from the school about that but I can ask the church to get me the letter. Does anybody can help me? Thank You

No and No, since neither job is paid or is in NOC skill A, B or O.
Volunteering as a paper courier?  Not getting paid?, right.

Is there any idea on how to apply for immigrant status while my field of study is "non profit organization" or religious study? Thanks
