Hello members,

I have a few questions on eligible work experience for express entry, please advise:-

1. I worked for almost 6 months from Jan 2021 - Jun 2021 (during Covid) remotely from outside Canada for a Canadian employer as a software developer, is that considered Canadian Work Experience or Foreign Skilled Work Experience?

2. I did a 1-year internship on a COOP work permit as a software developer intern, does that country towards the CEC?

3. Does on-campus work, 20 hrs/week on a study permit, count towards CEC?

Thanks all in advance for your time.
