Kindly tell that paid internship or house job count as experience
As long as you are on a work permit, and the internship is paid and in a skilled occupation, it will count.

I don't know what you mean by a "house job." Are you a physician or other clinician? Do you mean something like a 'residency'? If yes, then yes, it will count.

See for example NOC 3112 - resident physicians are specifically included under "General practitioners."

No internship that forms part of education is considered as work exp. paid or unpaid is out of question.

I know that any internship doesn't form part of work exp. it's available when one gets an ITA and later the next screen opens up where different docs are to be uploaded, there are quick reckoners besides each of the upload blocks.
For work ex, it states the same.

There are cases of rejection, due to eager addition of such apprentice / internship to total work exp for marginal / borderline case.

People with current upload screen on, may refer and confirm.

Regards,
Mumbai5

That is right..internships, even if they are paid, will not be counted as work experience if it is a part of your education

But house job in medical profession does not depend on degree. You get the degree before that one year training.

A house job after you complete compulsory internship should be counted.. I am not sure though...are you a medical doctor?

Only way to know for sure is if you go ahead with your application and also let us know later how it turned out.
