If I do an unpaid work experience as an IT analyst after graduation in Canada, is it counted as work experience for applying for PR?

I plan to work in my current role as an unpaid analyst intern for 3 months. Then I plan on looking for paid roles. But would my 3 months of working unpaid count towards the minimum 1 year requirement for applying for Canada PR?

No - unpaid roles do not count. The requirement is that you must be working full time hours and it must be remunerated with wages.

NO, it doesn't not count as it cannot be considered work for being unpaid.

No - in the proof of employment, salary and pay stub are mandatory information.
