So you aren’t working for a Canadian company at all on your PGWP but full time for a US company? If you aren’t working for a Canadian company while on PGWP then you can count the foreign experience.
Does working remotely count towards Canadian work experience?

Thank you and Yes, that’s correct. I am not claiming a Canadian experience during this time as it is not a Canadian company. Where I am really getting confused is the following. It says that the experience gained outside Canada although it doesn’t specifcally mention about being physically outside.

Do a search in the tool bar for remote work? People claim the experience all the time. You cannot double dip and count Canadian experience at the same time.Do you know anyone who claimed and got accepted?
Hi, I am in same situation, I am getting a job in India but I recently came on pgwp 2 weeks back. I was thinking if it will be beneficial to me to gain experience working in an Indian company while staying in Canada. Will it be considered as foreign experience and eligible for foreign skilled workers program?
