Similar question: I've been working full-time during all of my studies (4 years, bachelor degree). In my university attending courses is not mandatory as long as you attend all the tests and exams. Could such mixing of study and work impact points given for work experience?

Thanks in advance.

I think your only option is to be honest and write an explanation of the situation as best you can.

The reason you haven't received an answer from the forum yet is because only CIC knows how they will handle the situation.

During PR application, you can mention the job in the personal history section. But if you put it in the Work History section (which shall count towards your points) in the PR application as well as in the EE profile, I'm afraid it's a problem because you're on student permit and student permit supposes to have working hours restriction. Furthermore, if you put it in the Work History section, you need to produce employment reference letter as well. As you said it's odd job, be careful whether you can get reference letter for it.
