Dear all,
I have a question regarding the matter of working while studying outside of Canada.
I have 4 years of full-time work experience while I was studying full-time for my bachelor's degree.
I'm planning to apply for NOC 2282.
Will I get any points for my work experience? full-time or part-time?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you will get points for your work experience. You stated that it was full-time work experience so it will be counted as such.

It was indeed full-time, but many people told me that in the best case scenario it will be counted as a part-time experience and I will get only 2 years out of it, some even suggested it wouldn't be counted at all since it happened while I was studying full-time.
Thank you for your response.

I am worried in the second part which is part-time job is not counted while studying full time.

Anyone has

If you want to follow those ""Many People" then its your choice. As @DelPiero07 suggested, you can claim points for Full time study and Full time/Part time work for the same period if it is outside Canada!
