Hi Everyone.

I would like to immigrate to Canada under the Canadian Experience Class as temporary foreign worker (not as a foreign graduate).

I have 24 months of full time work experience in Canada, but 7 of those months I gained as part of an internship as an undergraduate.
I was an undergraduate in Germany and I was a temporary full time worker during those 7 months in Canada. I worked 37.5 hours a week, got a scholarship, and had a work permit.

I'm still living and working in Canada as a temporary worker.

Do the 7 months internship count as working experience?

Thank!!!

I don't see anything that would exclude it.

Are the 7 months of experience within 3 years of the (planned) application date, and NOC skill level O, A, or B... ?
