What is meant by apprentenceship?

Hi

I am applying through express entry. I have been doing job from past 3 years. I am ACCA Qualified but in order to become the member of the body, we have to do 3 years job and meet certain objectives. Currently my designation is "Management Trainee" in an Audit Firm. i am falling under the NOC job code of "1111" and I completed my 3 years in this March 2017. Can you please tell me if this is considered as apprentenceship because while making the profile at CIC it is specifically mentioned that I cannot enter experience gained during "Apprentenceship". My score becomes very low unless I show an experience of 3 years.

Is this Canadian or foreign work experience?

During studies or after studies?

foreign work experience. After studies. Already completed my studies and became qualified. In order to become member of the body I had to complete 3 years and meet some objectives. No studies during the period. just work.

Then as long as it is paid and you fulfill the duties and responsibilities of the NOC that you've chosen you can use this work experience.

thanks a lot for clearing my confusion

One more thing if you can clear. Does internship counted as work experience. I was working full time and was getting weekly stipend.

 

[DelPiero07]

Yes, paid internships do count.

This would be the case even if it was done during studies as it was done outside of Canada.
