Do unpaid internships (practicums) count toward work experience in Express Entry

[n-l]

Hi there,

I did a couple of months of unpaid work experience (a practicum) under a post-graduation work permit. The work was full-time and NOC level A. Wondering if this counts towards my work experience for the express entry application - or does it have to be paid to count?

Thank you in advance for any help!!

No, it won't count.

Hi
I have a question about practicums and since you have done a practicum I was wondering if you could help me. I need to do 2 practicums which are requirements of a certificate. Can I do them with post graduate work permit?
(My study permit is for my master’s degree and has nothing to do with this certificate.)
