Eligible for both CEC and FSW: would 8 months paid coop experience count?

[ei8hteen]

Hi all,

I've 1.5 years of full time experience on PGWP and 8 months of COOP experience. I'm eligible for both FSW and CEC. Will months of COOP experience count for FSW at least?

Thanks,

You can't count that. As per CIC MI "a period of employment during which the foreign national was engaged in full-time study is not to be included in calculating a period of work experience;"
