NEED HELP!

I'm about to graduate this year and had some work experiences while I was holding a coop work permit, will these count in PNP?
Experience 1: 3 month summer job, full time, paid
Experience 2:10 month job, full time, paid
Experience 3: 1 year till now, full time, paid (this is my current job and the company will support my application)

They were in different industry but the job duty are kind overlap with each other, so all of them can be summarized under same NOC I'm planning to use.
Will these experiences count? I understand that in EE it won't but there is no specific requirement in PNP.
If yes, I can start my first try with PNP right after my graduation

if anyone had the same situation or know someone been in this before, PLEASE SHARE!!!!

Thanks

Thanks! I think they are related!
Although they were in different field, but I was working on similar job duties... it should be ok if I add an explain letter...

You can ask your co-op company HR your work experience letter with job description that is similar as description examples on NOC find site. usually that works well.

first of all, I didn't do co-op.
I applied bcpnp tech pilot skilled worker category.
Answer for your question is No, bcpnp officer just check my salary record and resume.
But my representitave ask me the work experience letter just in case bcpnp request an extra docs.

Also, some of my friends told me that only 50%of the time could be counted into your experience, but I didn't find it in the document, is that true?
