Is internship experience while attending a Canadian university part time considered a" Canadian work experience" under the new express entry system?

Thank you in Advance :)

Here's the resource:

"For the purposes of this section,

(a) a period of employment during which the foreign national was engaged in full-time study is not to be included in calculating a period of work experience"

As stated in your resource, internship doesn't count. Technically, you are still a student while working full time internship.

Hello Friends,
I have worked with an IT company after graduation when I was on PGWP for 9 months. Will this experience be considered ? beacuse when I joined there they have asked my WP
for documnetation.
Any thoughts on this will be greatly appreciated !

After graduation and on PGWP should count, as long as your job's start date is after your graduation date on transcript.

@AAA2133 is right. CEC requires work to be paid at minimum wage of the certain NOC. I think the application requires T4 slips or pay slips so without that the experiences won't be counted. This is for CEC before and after EE.

Will i have to prove all 52 pay slips?

Secondly for work abroad where salary is low because of exchange rates as compared to here what about that? Secondly how can one prove it as the amount usually got directly deposited?

One T4 of the year plus pay slips for the remainder time is fine too. There's also your manager's reference letter which I suppose is more important than the T4/Pay slips

Work outside Canada won't be counted at all. (This is Canadian Experiences Class)
