apprentice work experience

[AspireDanish]

Hello
I had completed 2 years electrician diploma from ontario college and have been working full time as an apprentice since 1 year on a valid post graduate work permit. Will this experience is valid and counted against 1 year full time canadian experience?
I am not quite sure because some people say apprenticeship is not counted towards experience. However, this experience as an apprentice, i earned while i am on work permit. So I would like to know whether it is valid or not

If the apprenticeship is after graduation, paid and on a valid work permit, then, yes, you can use it as a valid experience for your CEC application.
