Does CO-OP counts to CEC if we work under same employer

[saipruthvibheemreddy@gmai]

Hello,

I'm currently working as a co-op student under a employer who is offering me full time position right after my co-op ends. So as I'm working under same employer does my co-op experience counts to CEC. The co-op is paid and there is no gaps in between.

Please let me know if it works.

Thanks in advance

Nope, co-op is part of your studies for which you get grades. Unfortunately it doesn't count towards CEC. Congrats on full time. What do you do? If I may ask?!

You can’t count it as Canadian experience (CEC) if you are studying in Canada and it is a co-op. You may be able to use as foreign experience (FSW). To be eligible for FSW, your work experience must be at least one year and continuous (no breaks).

Not sure what's confusing. The above clearly summarizes the rules.

You can count this as work experience towards FSW.

You CANNOT count this as work experience towards CEC.

It clearly states you CANNOT count your CO-OP or INTERN experience for CEC however you can through FSW.

A CEC has to be a 1 Year Experience working full time (1560 hours) or Part Time with a total of 1560 hours.
