Full time Skilled work experience before bachelor's degree.

[alexk9119]

Hello , hope someone experienced can help.

I'm Alex, 3D artist.

I have : 3.5 years of full time paid work experience as 3D artist. ( june 2014 - present) outside Canada.

3 year part-time Bachelor's degree, also outside Canada ( WES ECA evalutes it as Community College Diploma (3 years). I completed my Bachelors while working Full time.

Next year I am going to UK for my 1 year Specialized Master's ( unfortunately no Masters for my field in Canada, only post grad certificate).

So, my confusion is, after I finish my masters from UK, and apply for FSWP, will my previous 3.5 years of full time paid experience in same field as my Master's be vaild under Express Entry? Will I get points for this?

Is there any rule that work experience outside Canada for FSWP is considered only after Bachelor's? I would be applying under NOC 5241.

I would be grateful if someone could clear my confusion.
Thanks and regards.

The work experience does not have to be before your bachelor's provided you can obtain a work reference letter that meets IRCC format, all the best.

hello Pipis Husband, thanks for reply.

You mean work experience doesn't have to be only after bachelor's right?
So, experience before bachelor's is valid, as long as I can get proper reference letters?

can some senior member also confirm this please.
