Can a person study full time and work full time

[siddharth_pharma84]

During my full time education at a reputed uni ,i used to work full time.more then 46hr a week and paid as full time employee.will my work experience counted as full time.my employer ready to give experience letter,pay raise statement etc

As long as you have the appropriate documentation to prove both study and employment (including pay slips/ income tax returns and mark sheets/degree AND that the university was in the approved list at the time you were in attendance) I don't see why you should not be given credit. I know people in Canada do the same thing. I am not an authority on immigration, so do your research. Do a search of the forum for more answers to this as I know it has been discussed in the past. Have you consulted the OP Manuals as well? What do others think? Good luck.

Hi siddharth,

I had shown 4 semesters of study during 2 years and simultaneous full time employment at the same time. Although i have received PER but no medicals till now. So yes you can definitely do that.

Hope this was helpful

Interesting, so you are saying:
1 hour morning bathroom and breakfast+ 8 hours studying (including 1 hour for lunch, not including homework)+8 hours full time work + 1 hour dinner+8 hours sleep = 26 hours a day and no time to do the homework?
I tried it once, when studied, for one month. It didn't work out for me since in is not physically possible. Either your studies will suffer or no full time work.

Dear slavasz,

Sorry to contradict you, but as per OP-6, full time study means a min of 15 hours per week and full time work means 37.5 hours,
So a total of 52.5 hours or approx 10 hours per day(in a 5 day week) weekends free.

Please note that this is the bare min.

Yea, you are absolutely right Nano. The applicant should also have documentation to prove the hours of work/school.

No "sorry" necessary I just shared my experience.

You are absolutely right dear.
Working and studying full time is very difficult.
I guess that OP is Indian. Indian Universities and work culture is very different though.

Secondly to the OP:
From your name I can guess that you are a pharmacist.
Does it mean that you used to work in a pharmacy store while you were doing your Bachelor in Pharmacy??
While the work may be similiar to pharmacist you maybe not registered as a pharmacist and hence your work experience won't be counted as that technically.
Though lot of things depends on the mood of the Visa officer.
I suggest that you do claim the experience but better have more the sufficient points, just in case the VO won't alote you any points.

No "sorry" necessary I just shared my experience.

 

[nano24482]

Exception to the case for OP.
If you did your degree after having a diploma.

Hi nano,
Well during b.pharmacy 3yr and 4yr used to work as pharmacy techni under guidance of pharmacist. D.pharmacy in india takes 3yrs to complete even they are registered as pharmacist.I Enquired to state pharmacy council,they don't have any issue working as pharmacy techn.
yea a lot depends on vo .i don't have much option at this stage.yea presently working as pharmacist.
Anyways nano thxs for positive input.For record a person can work during b.pharmacy so as to be independent and financially stable.

Dear Siddarth,

Everyone works(whether during studies or after) to be financially independent .
What my point was, whether that work will be counted as a pharmacist or not, especially by the visa officer?
If you do not have any option than by all means show the experience. Rest depends on luck...
