Hello,
I'm a graduate student in Canada and should be able to finish my studies soon. When I applied for student visa (Study Permit) I only included my foreign experience were I wasn't a student (January 2017 to March 2018) as a FULL-TIME Research Assistant. However, now that I'm about to apply for Express Entry, I realized that I can include all of my foreign experience as a FULL-TIME Research Assistant even when I was in school. This would accumulate my experience as from January 2015 to March 2018, which makes it 3 years instead of one (I have a document from the department that I worked for that time).
Now, if in the EE profile I say that I worked for 3 years, even though when I applied for the study permit in 2018 I said I worked for one year, would that make them think I'm lying or skeptic? Or is the VISA process and Express entry are not related?

The reason I did this is that I thought they need my experience only after I graduated. I hope I made my point clear. Please advice, I really don't wanna waste my 3 years of experience.

Thanks!
