Question About Foreign Work Experience While in Canada

[Nisarg@8490]

Hi everyone,

I have a question about foreign work experience for Express Entry.

I am currently an international student in Canada on a study permit. I am considering working remotely (work from home) for an Indian company while I am physically living in Canada.

I would like to know:

1. Can this remote work experience be counted as foreign work experience for Express Entry/FSWP?
2. Does it matter that I am physically working from Canada for a foreign (Indian) employer?
3. If I do this work while I am on a study permit, can it count as foreign work experience?
4. If I do the same type of remote work while I am on a post-graduation work permit (PGWP), can it count as foreign work experience?
5. Would this experience provide any CRS points for foreign work experience?

The company is based in India, and I would be working remotely from Canada.

I would really appreciate it if anyone with experience in this situation or an immigration professional could clarify this.

Thank you!
