Hello,

I have a quick question. Can paid-Research-Assistantship (paid-RA) be considered as a work experience?

Thank you.

I am not an expert at Canadian Immigration.
Please don't expect me to answer if your post title has urgent in it and it is not really urgent. Urgent is 911 or you have a definite deadline tomorrow, not that you would like to send in the application soon

yes. RA is considered as a work experience. I worked as a RA during my Master study and claimed it for FSW

Did you apply as skilled worker? I mean, you used your experience as RA for the application or the fact of being more than 1 year full time student?

nn000,

Did you have to get an AEO to meet the 67 point requirement?
I heard you need to get an AEO or be in one of the 29 occupations

Hi
I applied in 2008 and under the old system, I accumulate enough points via work experience as TA.
I did not have to apply for AEO or be in one of the 29 occupations.
