Work experience while study

[Dreamlandvisa]

Dear All,

I have question: does working while being an student count towards points for FSW or QSW? For example if I am just graduated but have 3 years of work experience can I get points for that?

Thank you all.

It definitely doesn't count towards Canadian Experience Class (CEC), so I'd assume it doesn't count towards FSW. However, haven't found anything explicitly stating that it does not.

Can't say about other categories, but its acceptable in FSW allowing you to claim points accordingly.

I read all overseas procedures and couldn't find anything about it. Not sure if it is acceptable or not. Thanks for your replies.

You're welcome. I'm sure its acceptable for FSW and I've applied through a canadian attorney on the basis of such experience.

Regards.
