Hello I have question reg internship done during my undergrad.

Education:
B.E from 2012 - 2016. Graduated in May 2016.
M.S from 2016 to 2018. Graduated in May 2018

My work experience is as follows. It will be great if I could know which of these work experience can be counted towards full time employment of 3 years.

  1. June - Aug 2014 Software Engineer Intern (40h/ week, paid, full time, during Summer break of my BE program, did not have to attend classes),
  2. June - Aug 2015 Software Engineer Intern (40h/ week, paid, full time, during Summer break of my BE program, did not have to attend classes)
  3. Jan - June 2016 Software Engineer Intern (40h/ week, paid, full time, was done as a part of college project, did not have to attend classes, experience letter does not mention it was done as a part of college project)
  4. June - Aug 2016 Software Engineer Intern (40h/ week, paid, full time, after completing my B.E in May 2016)
  5. June - Aug 2017 Software Engineer Intern (40h/ week, paid, full time, during Summer break of my M.S program, did not have to attend classes)
  6. July 2018 - Sept 2018 Software Engineer (40h/ week, paid, full time, first job after graduation from M.S)
  7. Sept 2019 - current Software Engineer (40h/ week, paid, full time, ongoing)

All these will be counted towards FSW and not towards CEC. I do not have a Candian degree or Candian experience.
 
Watching this thread since I'm considering using my internship experience towards FSW too.

In my opinion, all of them count, because it's for FSW, not CEC.

By the way, are you able to get job reference letters for all of these experience? Usually it's pretty hard to get one from ex-employer, especially if you only stayed there for a few months as an intern.

For experts who are about to comment, does anyone know whether FSW applicants need to prove "internship is not part of degree requirement" in LOE?
