I have recently completed my Masters in Global Management from a Canadian University and hold a PGWP. I have bagged independent contracts from Canadian companies to work as their Business Consultant. I am wondering, when I apply for PR under Express Entry system to avail Canadian Experience Class (CEC), will my work as a self-employed count towards work experience? I want to point out that I am not seeking work experience while being a full time student (which is what is mentioned in the 'determine your eligibility' on the CIC website. It would be great if somebody can share their experience in the same situation or provide valuable advice. Thanks in advance!
