work experience for express entry

[Raslam]

Hi,
I want to apply for PR in the Canadian Express Entry. I graduated a couple of years ago but I started working during my studies, so I have more than 3 years work experience. But some one told me that only the experience after graduation will be considered valid for Express Entry. Is this true? Kindly guide me.
Thanks

If this work exp is gained during the studies done in Canada then yes it will not be counted. But if it is done out of Canada it can be considered but conditions like full/part time work, NOC, etc will come in to play

IRCC website doesn't mention anything about work experience gained while studying for Outside of Canada (FSW or FST), so YES you can count that work experience. IRCC doesn't count work experience gained during studies in Canada.
