can my research work toward my MSc and PhD thesis count as work experience?

[hyunjinc]

I am PhD student at one of the Canadian universities, and I had done my BSc and MSc in Canada as well.
The research project works that I have done for my thesis were funded by my supervisor and university scholarship.
Can I claim my thesis research work as work experience since it was funded by my supervisor?

thanks

Work experience means 40 hrs-a-week of regular 'paid' work in an NOC. If your research project also meets that, for sure u can claim that experience.

you cant claim any point for experience against your research or thesis

If you are writing it under scholarship (money without any work obligation like NSERC or SSHRC)- then no, you can't.
If you are a research assistant (that means you signed a contract with your supervisor, have a salary and pay taxes out of that) - then you can claim this as a work experience (there is even a special noc code: post-graduate research and teaching assistants).
If it is part-time though, or less than 37.5h/w, be sure to calculate your number of hours. I;ve seen grad research assistants rejected b/c they did not have a equivalent of 1 year of the full-time experience.

No no cannot claim points. Please refer to operational manual for FSW or other class to understand how are points calculated. You will not be entitled.
