I have a years experience back home in a marketing position, it was a very sought after position. however the company did not pay me. The government did. It was a scheme created by the Irish Government to help those out of work or straight out of college to gain experience. I worked 9 months unpaid but was receiving EI(DOLE PAYMENTS BACK HOME). Then for the last 3 months my company paid me minimum wage kind of as a thank you for the hard work. Can i use this a skilled work experience?
do internships count ?

No you can't as your 9 months of work experience is unpaid. CIC will ask for reference letter, payslips, bank statements to validate your employment.
"You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week."
"You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week."
they don't know what JobsBridge is, and with this new system CIC aren't asking questions on things that don't add up.
You can't really say you were working for Company A but show government payments going into your account. besides, the dole payments are far below what the minimum payment for those jobs are meant to be, so there'd be questions on that too.
Stick it in your personal history but I wouldn't be trying to use it for points. Cause more issues than its worth. IMO.
