Does work exp in India count in CRS?

I was calculating my points by looking at Comprehensive Ranking Sytem.

Please correct me if I am wrong. I have total 10 years of work experience in India but it won't add any point directly. Only if I get 8,7,7,7 in IELTS I will get 25 points. Am I correct in my understanding of CRS?

You will get max skill transferability points for work experience and education only if you get at least CLB 9 in all levels of IELTS.

Work experience counts and has separate points. To answer your question put in subject of thread - yes India or any experience counts - it is treated as foreign experience ( as its outside Canada). For Canada experience you get additional points.

I am little confused here. Will I get the 80 points for experience mentioned in Section A Core/ human capital factor on the following link?

Do you have Canada work experience, if not then No. Easiest and best way to know is to use CIC CRS calculator and find how much you score based on your work exp, IETLS, ECA etc.

Thanks Hope. As I understand it, there is no way I will get near to ITA cutoff score unless I work in Canada for couple of years or have an employment offer through Canada Job bank. I will try the CIC CRS calculator.
