Year calculation for Primary Occupation(FSW)

[ShriHanuman]

Hello,
I need clarification regarding the experience for Primary Occupation:
FSW webpage says that "Primary Occupation is checked from the date a person first obtained minimum education or training for a particular NOC job"

I graduated in May of 2017 but I had a part time internship (20hr/week) from October of 2016 to May of 2017 and then from June 2017 up to now I am working as Full time (40hr/week) employee. Both internship and Full time job are in same NOC job field. Can I show internship + Full time experience as 1 year for FSW? or do I have to wait till May of 2018 to be eligible for FSW?


Thanks,

Yes.

I doubt that. you're internship will not count in your one-year eligibility work experience.

You will need to show one year of continuous full-time work or two years of part-time

Your link applies to those who are full-time students in Canada.

Work experience during full-time studies OUTSIDE of Canada does count.

Thank you for your reply.

But in this link:
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...nternships-count-in-express-entry-fsw.286538/

people with part time work experience outside Canada were accepted for EE. Am I missing something?
