Hi! During my PhD studies (at a univeristy in Brazil), I had the opportunity to conduct part of my research in a Canadian university. I wanna make sure this counts as a canadian work experience, for CEC.
Details: job position - education researcher/research assistant, full-time work, one year continuous experience, with LMIA-Exempt Work Permit. My employer was the Canadian university, as stated in the WP. I know also they would provide me a reference letter. In my work permit says "research award recipient"
The thing is, although I was an employer at the Canadian university, my university in Brazil was the one paying me (paying the award). I wonder if this invalidate the experience.
I know student work doesn’t count as work experience for CEC, but I’m mostly finding things about being a student IN Canada, which is not my case. Like, the link says "
To be considered under the Canadian Experience Class: You cannot count work experience you gained while enrolled as a full-time student. Your work experience must have been gained while on a valid work permit, such as the Post-Graduation Work Permit."
Thanks in advance for the help!
