Hi..even i am a dentist.. But i was told that the internship is not counted as work experience.. Although mine was paid

Who told you this ? Someone from CIC/IRCC, or someone on this forum ?

If you received university credits for your internship, it does not count.
If you didn't receive credits, it should count.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be anyone on this forum who has applied using an internship as work experience, so we don't know for certain how it turns out.
 
Istari ur very right . it is what exactly like that or you are going to perceive.I think CIC officials can tell us the exact situation. I mail them waiting for their reply . I m keeping my finger cross.

Honestly, I doubt you'll get much information. They are reluctant to conject about anything when they don't have all the details.

Not a credential, a credit.

I'm not sure how university works where you live. But in a lot of countries (Australia, USA, etc.) each class you take is worth a certain number of credits, and you must complete a certain number of credits to graduate.

For example, in Australia, to graduate with a Bachelor's degree, you must complete 192 credits. Each 1-semester-long class you take, is worth 6 credits. (That's 4 classes per semester, for 4 years.)

So if I look on my university transcript, it will have a list of all the classes I took, and say how many credits each class was worth. If an internship earned me credit, it would be on my transcript.


But as I said, I don't know how university works where you live.
 
@ raffan

Your work experience must be:
•at least one year (1,560 hours total / 30 hours per week), continuous full-time or an equal amount in part-time,
•paid work (volunteer work, unpaid internships do not count),
•in the same job,
•within the last 10 years, and
•at skill type 0, or skill levels A or B of the 2011 National Occupational Classification (NOC).

Full Time

30 hours/week for 12 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

Part time

15 hours/week for 24 months = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)
OR
30 hours/week for 12 months at more than one job = 1 year full time (1,560 hours)

You must show that you did the duties set out in the lead statement of the occupational description in the NOC, including all the essential duties and most of the main duties listed.

If you cannot show that your work experience meets the description in the NOC, you are not eligible under this program.

Kindly tell that paid internship or house job count as experience

I am sure it count as experience , if it is paid, and not part of your academic degree as the case is for BDS in Pakistan

OP's a dentist. And yes, their internship counts towards their work experience.

Who is Op's ? Internship is not part of our education but it is needed to earn license.. can we count points for it?

Hey raffan, did you apply for EE? I am also a dentist and I am confused whether house job experience is counted or not
 
Can I count my paid training
(4 months +1.5 unpaid leave+ 4 months ) work experience in FSW if it was done after recieving graduation certificate and was a part of my graduation to appear for an exam to get a licence as full fleged engineer.

Work experience was outside Canada.
