Part Time work during studies can be counted or not?

[luckyx27]

Hi I have 4 years part time working experience in the UK with the reference letter as per cic format. Will that be counted as 2 years or not. One of consultant told me it will not be counted.

Will be counted.

Whether that is equivalent to 2 years of full-time work experience depends on the number of hours worked per week.

I am currently enrolled in a full-time MAster's program but it's more of post-graduate training within my NOC (dentistry) and i get paid a stipend for it as well. Not sure if i can show this as work experience or just add to personal history. I do have 4 years of FT work experience prior to beginning my Master's so it won't influence my score but still i don't want to risk misrepresentation and wonder if anyone can help me decide if i should get a letter from my current university stating my designation as PG trainee, responsibilities, and annual pay?

Just add it in the personal history.

The answer is if your part time work experience was gained while being a full time student, then this experience unfortunately does NOT count.

Hey delpiero,
I am guessing you mean it doesnt count only inside canada for people wanting to claim towards CEC right?

 

[DelPiero07]

Correct.

Even though its not specified on that link i shared, but you might be right because i see this condition written under CEC requirements while its not mentioned at all under FSW. My bad. learned something new lol
