Hi,

With the express entry rules coming into effect, I was wondering if a one year co-op experience would count towards the requirements for FSW. I've searched and re-read the rules and could not find any information mentioning that co-op experience is ineligible.

As of today I have a total of 14 months of co-op experience. I did my first co-op from Jan 2013 to April 2013 and my other co-op is from Sept 2013 until August 2014(total of one year paid continuous experience.). my questions are:

1) Am I eligible to apply for Fsw? if not, please post a link mentioning that my co-op experience is ineligible
2) supposedly I'm eligible, do i wait another 2 months(august 2014) to meet the continuous one year experience requirement ? or can I combine my first and second co-op experience?

Thanks,
Kvn
