Hey guys,

I applied for Express Entry first time my profile came in Ineligible even though i have all the following:
+ Bachelors degree 3 Years completed in Canada
+ Working in IT (2175) from last one year with an employer so 1 year Work Exp (Skill Level A) and working at present...
+ 1.5 Year Internship work experience in Canada which was paid 40 hrs a week in IT NOC 2174 (Skill Level A)
+ 10000 CAD even though its not required.

Still the profile came ineligible :( .. I have no idea what was wrong. So I am trying to apply again and see if i can get eligible status this time.

As I was pursuing my bachelors in Canada and also did paid internship in Information Technology (NOC 2174) with a reputed company 40 hours a week.

Is this experience eligible under Work History? if YES then
Should I choose YES for full time student while doing the internship or NO?


Please help.

Paid internship after GRADUATION with a VALID Post Graduate Work Permit counts for Canadian Work Experience.

If, the internship experience was gained while in school, sorry it doesn't count.
