Does Graduate Assistantship (GA) and co-op qualify as work experience?

[s.hamid.d]

Hi,

Thanks in advance for reading my post.

Sorry if this post is a duplicate I accidentally posted it in another category.

I'm a Master student in computer science in University of Windsor and will be graduating in one month.
I'm in the process of applying for PR as a skilled worker with a job offer (Arranged employment)

1.
I want to know if my graduate assistant ship work in the university counts as work experience or not?
I have had 3 GA allocations during my studies. each for 4 months. and 140 hours of work.
so overall it's 420 hours in 12 months.

2.
I have also worked 7 months Full-Time as a co-op student (Web Developer).
Would Co-Op also count as work experience?

Sorry for asking 2 questions.

Thank you.
