I did full time study (m tech in india) and full time employment ( as software engineer ) in an Indian MNC in the same period. Does CIC consider both of them? Can I claim points for both of them?

Thanks in advance.

That doesn't make sense, full time means : 30 hours/week.
I don't think CIC will consider that you work and study full time in same period : means 60 hours/week.

In short, you can claim anyone of them.
 
Or both of them. But not both as full-time because that just defeats the purpose of calling anything full-time.
 
Thanks. So you want me to mention my job experience as part time during my study. Will cic give points for part time job same as full time job?

Part-time job is calculated at anything less than 30 hours/week. If it was 15 hours/week you'll get 50% credit for that experience, if it was 24 hours/week you'll get 80% credit and so on. If you have 2 years (104 weeks) of part-time work experience at 15 hours/week, that is equivalent to 1 year (52 weeks) of full-time experience.
 
Hm, I'm in the same boat, are you guys sure that having 2 full-time occupations is impossible? I mean, I have a verified diploma and payslips from my job and everything. My job work hours are pretty flexible (working after studies and at weekends for 40 hour/week total), that's what allowed me to work full-time while studying. Is that really unacceptable for CIC?
