health course student want to be caregiver

[superman2012]

hi
according to CIC, Caregiver works can be eligible for PR.

I'm an international student of health related course in Alberta and I want to work in home care which includes care giving.
according to CIC as an international student we are eligible to work 20 hours per week during school days and 30 hours or more during break time like summer and winter season.

to be eligible in caregiver program for permanent residency, I should have at least 24 MONTHS WORK EXPERIENCE in Care giver for adult client and "Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week"

are my experience during holiday breaks while I'm student can be considered as a full time and deducted to 24 months?

Unlikely - experience while studying typically cannot be counted towards these totals.

Also note that you can't just use your off-campus work permit to work in home care or health care (you are not authorized to work in home care with your off-campus work permit). You will need to get a medical and then have the condition removed from your off-campus work permit that prevents you working in the health care field.

thanks about that. I can not see any information in CIC regarding the limits of off campus. I mean if I have an off campus work permit then I can work in different work place that I want like in Home care and I understand that I'm only allowed to work 20 hours per week and full time during breaks.

I think CIC will accept my work experience during my PGWP and not during my studies is that right?
