Hello.

In profile, it is said "Do not enter a work expericence related to apprenticeship process".

I used to work under apprenticeship status, so it can't regarded as a work experience?

Apprenticeships are technically work while doing your educational program (Be that a trade school, internship, co-op, etc.). So those don't count towards CRS points.

What if "Apprenticeship" is after graduation, not part of the educational program and the candidate is enrolled as a full-time employee entitled to a stipend? In India, there is such program for graduates to get exposure to industrial working culture. I hope I can include that as skilled experience.

Please give your opinion on this matter.

It doesn't matter what the job title says - as long as it is full time, paid and after your graduation/minimum qualification for that job, it will be counted (you will, of course, need a reference letter from employer).

P.S. - minimum qualification/graduation does not have to be related to the job.

I have reference letter, but in the appointment letter, they have used the term "12 months training"

But satisfies every other condition:

1. After graduation
2. Full-time
3. Paid (Stipend is the exact term)

But there is another situation, it took me 15 months to complete the "Apprenticeship Program" as I had an accumulated loss of pay of about 85 dats over the span of 12 months and company told me to work for extra 3 months to compensate for those LOP. I hope this is not an issue. In Reference letter, they have mentioned my start and end date.

The appointment letter alone will not work - you will need a reference letter confirming salary, number of hours per week, duties performed (very important) along with start & end date. If you are still working, then you will need to have completed 12 months (reference letter dates should indicate this) in order for it to be considered.

yes, bro. I have reference letter which clearly mentions full-time employment, 48 hours per week and stipend of Rs. 6000/- per month and duties and responsibilities.

I am only concerned if my application gets rejected in EE or PNP for the inclusion of apprenticeship, coz there is no clear statement on CNC website related to apprenticeship after graduation. I have 4 years experience other than the apprenticeship, 2 years before and 2 years after the apprenticeship
