Experience while doing degree,can they still count it as experience

[jitha]

Hi,

I have done my degree in distance education while working. Total I have 4 years of experience. But, Post degree, I have only 1 year experience. I was working in administration department. While considering my PR migration, Will they consider my prior degree experience??Please reply

IF this is for FSW, you need one year of continious skilled experience in one NOC to be eligible. You can count all your experience if skilled.

Yes it's counted even if it overlaps.

Dear friends,

I have posted the same question yesterday because me too I am in the same situation, and one of our colleagues in this forum told me that if the university is not a Canadian university and if your applying as FSW, then you can consider those years as a work experience work,

Please have a look to this link and feel free to exchange your opinions because it is very common issue but few people are bringing this topics into discussion:
