Hi everyone, I posted my question under some other threads. Since it is different from the original topics and no one has replied, so I want to post in a new one here:
So I got ITA, in my Application/profile details > Working history, I listed my 3-year Canadian research assistant experience (Study permit). I know it's not counted in CEC from here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=855&top=29. Then according to some posts in the forum, some people claim it was counted in FSW.
Somehow, when I preview my score, I got 72 Canadian Work Experience Scores, I'm sure this is because of my RA because my current Canadian job hasn't been more than 1 year yet (0 score).
I'm very confused, then I checked carefully in Working history, there's a question:
```Studying full-time while doing this job? A person must be in class at least 15 hours per week during the academic year to be considered full-time. This includes any period of training in the workplace that is part of the study program.
```
I chose 'no' for RA, since for graduate students (all I have known). everyone just had 2-3 classes one semester, it's no more than 15 hours per week. But we were on our study permit. So just curiosity, I switch to 'yes', then my score dropped to under 400, which would disqualify me.
Ok, that is the situation now, has anyone had similar experience before? What should I choose? I guess I can probably wait until my current job more than 1 year, but on the flip side, I think the immigration system didn't make the definitions very carefully, which leads to confusion and may cost me a few more months. Please clarify
Thank you very much for your attention!!!
