Hi guys, I have a question regarding to foreign working experience really hope someone could help me out.
I worked at my hometown while i was in college for one year, I was working part-time (around 15 hours per week) during school season and full-time during the winter and summer break; I did a little calculation, my overall hours for that one year is over 1560 hours. My question is do i still consider have one year f/t working experience? Many Thanks!!!! :)

I dont think job during your Full Time Degree/Diploma (until your degree is also Part Time) will count towards Work Experience.

During my tenure of 4 years Bachelors and 1 Year Master, I had 2 Internships of 3 Months each and one Internship of 6 months....I am not able to use that in Work Experience, though I will put this Personal History

However, wait for senior guys to reply as I am saying this on basis of my interpretation only!

if your degree was done outside Canada, you can claim for your foreign work experience. ( as long as it was paid and continuous) That's for the FSW program.
That's the case for me. I started my full time job during the 3rd year of my BE.

FOR FSW, you can claim points for these as long as you did them while your degree was done OUTSIDE canada.
FOR CEC, you can't claim points for work experience while studying INSIDE canada.
