Can UK Placement count towards experience?

Hello Nice People,

I did my bachelors in the UK form 2012 to 2016, but I managed to secure a FULL TIME (40 hours a week for 52 weeks) PAID SKILLED ENGINEERING JOB from July 7 2014 to July 7 2015. During this year, I did not attend classes as I was not required too as it is called a placement year in the UK. But I was considered a student as I was on a student visa. Then I did my final year from September 2015 to June 2016.

It is also written on my degree that
"The programme included professional placement training, completed to the satisfaction of the
University and/or the appropriate professional/regulatory body from
07-JUL-14 to 07-JUL-15"

Can I count this as one year of skilled experience outside canada? I am confused as this was done between my studies and not after I graduated. Also, this is an official thing that UK has i.e. placement year.

Thanks!!!
