hi,

i know work experience gained through co-op while on study permit cannot be used for CEC. but what if, i'm working part-time and is not part of co-op of my program, and while on school break, i work full time, can i use those work hours for CEC application?

thanks

No - you cannot use these work hours towards CEC. You can only count work experience after you completed your studies.

Thanks for the info. If my wife is on spousal open work permit while i'm studying, can she use her work hours for CEC?
Yes, she can. You cannot, because you are on a study permit.
