Hello,
I am currently employed in the United States post graduation (Master's) and am looking to immigrate to Canada by obtaining PR through Federal Skilled Worker's program.
I am currently on F1 student visa and on Optional Practical Training (OPT work Status). I understand that Express Entry procedure does not take into consideration any form of work experience/internships while enrolled as a student.
However, OPT is provided post graduation for all STEM programs in the US. Does this one year paid full-time work experience with an organization count as valid employment for Express Entry?
