CEC - working holiday hours counted towards CEC?

[sonjy]

I am a bit confused with some mixed opinions re: working holiday hours and CEC.

I worked for 10 months FT as a dental technologist (level B skilled) while I was on a working holiday visa. Now I obtained a regular work permit via LMO.
Will the time worked while I was on working holiday visa (which looks identical to a regular work permit) count towards the CEC hour requirements?

I hope experts on this forum could provide a clear cut answer to this.
If anybody filed as such and succeeded in obtaining PR, that would be quite informative to know.

Thank you very much in advance.

Some people have this idea that IEC (working holiday) experience somehow isn't eligible for Canadian Experience Class, but they don't point out in the instructions, manuals etc where it says this. As you say, it's just a standard open work permit.

Keep calm and carry on.
